Lille’s most recent match ended in a narrow draw, a result that underlined both their resilience and occasional lack of sharpness in front of goal.

Overall, their season has been a mix of solid home performances and some inconsistent away outings, but they remain a competitive side pushing for a top-half finish.

Lyon, on the other hand, come into this match after a disappointing defeat in their last fixture.

Their season so far has been plagued by defensive lapses and inconsistency in attack, leaving them struggling to find rhythm despite flashes of quality from key individuals.

Home and Away Form

At home this season, Lille have shown steady form. They opened with a comfortable win, followed by a hard-fought draw, and recently managed another victory that highlighted their strength at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Their crowd has played a vital role, pushing them to maintain control in midfield and limit opposition chances.

Lyon’s away form has been less convincing. They began the season with a loss on the road, later securing a point in a scrappy draw, and then stumbled again in a frustrating defeat. Their struggles away from home suggest vulnerability against sides with strong home records like Lille.

Head-to-Head Record

In their last five meetings, Lille and Lyon have often produced close encounters. Lille secured two wins, Lyon claimed one, while the remaining two ended in draws.

Across all competitions, the two clubs have met over 120 times. Lille have managed around 35 wins, Lyon boast over 40 victories, and the rest have been draws, reflecting a relatively balanced rivalry with a slight edge for Lyon historically.

At Lille’s home ground in the last five meetings, the hosts have managed two wins and two draws, with Lyon taking one victory. Meanwhile, at Lyon’s home, results have been more even, though Lille have occasionally stolen key points on their travels.

Team News

Lille will be without a couple of injured players, particularly in defense, but their midfield core remains intact. The attacking trio is expected to start, giving them pace and creativity in the final third.

Lyon face their own setbacks, with injuries affecting both midfield and defensive options. A key forward remains doubtful, which could hinder their attacking edge. However, young prospects are likely to be given chances as Lyon look to turn their season around.
