What a reunion! After facing each other in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France in early January, Olympique Lyonnais and Lille will now battle it out on matchday 20 of Ligue 1. The match will take place this Sunday at Groupama Stadium. Everything has been going well for Lyon in recent weeks. In addition to defeating Lille in the French Cup (1-2), they have just finished at the top of the Europa League group stage and are sitting in 4th place in Ligue 1. They could also make a big move in the race for Champions League qualification this weekend.

Lille is just behind them in the standings, in 5th place. Things are very complicated for the Lille club at the moment. Even though they have just secured their place in the Europa League playoffs, they have lost their last three Ligue 1 matches. They are now four points behind their next opponent in the French league standings. If Bruno Génésio's men fail to get back on track and lose on Sunday afternoon, they will find themselves seven points behind the top four. That would be a significant gap at this stage of the season.

Our Lyon vs Lille Prediction

Nothing seems to be able to stop Lyon at the moment. They are on a crazy run of nine consecutive wins in all competitions. They could also make a big move in the race for Champions League qualification. Currently in fourth place in Ligue 1, the Rhône-based club would move seven points ahead of Lille with a win this Sunday. That will be their goal, as their next opponent has lost its last three games in the French league.

Our pick for Lyon vs Lille is: Victory for Lyon!

Prediction:

 

Lyon win the match
