Lille vs Lyon Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Les Lillois boast the best defensive record in the competition.

We have wonderful action coming up between two of the best sides in the division. Lille welcome rivals Lyon in a highly anticipated clash at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in round 10 of the Ligue 1 action. 

Lille have made a good start to the season accumulating 17 points from the opening nine games to occupy the fourth position in the table. Bruno Genesio needs to be credited for making Lille a rigid side that is tough to break down as they boast the best defensive record in the competition. Also, Les Lillois have secured some impressive results on the road particularly their consecutive victories over both the Madrid teams, Real and Atletico, to maintain a hundred per cent winning record in the UEFA Champions League. 

Lyon on the other hand have endured a mixed start to the season. Les Gones after a few positive games have suffered a dip in form in recent games. Pierre Sage will be disappointed with the way his team conceded the goal against Auxerre to throw away their 2-1 lead to earn only a draw against them. This game will be crucial for them as they aim to bounce back to winning games and climb up the table.

Jonathan David (⁠Lille)

Jonathan David has been in magnificent form for Lille who has already caught the eye with his performances this season. The Canadian international has been in red-hot form already scoring six goals in the league, including a hattrick against Le Havre. He also created history by scoring back-to-back against both Madrid clubs to earn his side victories against them for the first time.

Rayan Cherki (Lyon)

Rayan Cherki will be the player to watch out for the visitors in this game. Despite failing to live up to the expectations as the next big superstar from the Lyon setup, Charki has shown flashes of brilliance. At just 21 years old, he is in his sixth season with the club which shows the hype around him. Cherki is a magical player who possesses the quality to turn a game with his vision, creativity, and goal-scoring ability.
