Our Analysis: Form of Both Teams
Lille host Lyon on Friday evening in what should be a Ligue 1 blockbuster to kick-start the weekend.
The hosts currently sit in fourth place, having picked up 17 points from nine matches, with nearly twice as many goals scored (15) as conceded (8). With wins against both Real and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, Lille have already proven how strong they are.
Lyon head into this fixture after a disappointing 1-0 loss in the Europa League to Besiktas, before drawing 2-2 with Auxerre at home. They need to improve their results if they want to achieve a top-three finish this season.
Lyon beat Lille 4-3 in this fixture last campaign, and while we expect a different outcome this time, there should be plenty of excitement.

Hosts to win once more
Lille come into this tie unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions, including wins in the Champions League over Atletico and Real Madrid.
Their return to the competition hasn’t disrupted their Ligue 1 form as they defeated Lens 2-0 last time out, securing their third clean sheet.
Sitting in fourth place, Lille are three points ahead of Lyon, a team many anticipated would be challenging PSG for the title this season.
The visitors have been in good form, although that has dropped off in the last week with a loss to Besiktas and a draw against Auxerre. Lille can continue their good form at home.

Keep Your Faith in the Canadian
If Lille are to continue winning, their Canadian forward will likely be central to their success. Jonathan David has been in fine form this season, scoring nine goals across all competitions.
A Ligue 1 hat-trick against Le Havre, as well as a brace against Atletico Madrid, are two of his best performances to date.
The forward also scored last time out in a competitive match against Lens from the penalty spot, and as Lille’s dedicated spot kick specialist, this adds an edge to our second tip in our Lille vs Lyon predictions piece.

Entertainment under the lights
Our Lille vs Lyon predictions indicate it won’t be easy for Lille as Lyon have proven to be a great side on a number of occasions this season.
Lyon have excelled in the Europa League, securing comfortable wins over Olympiacos and Rangers, as well as beating Le Havre and Toulouse on their travels in Ligue 1.
