Lille vs Lyon Match Analysis & Prediction
06/05/2024 10:00 pm
Lille play host to Lyon at Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Monday knowing that a single point would be enough to officially secure a spot in the Europa League next season at the very least.
A second successive place in the Europa League is within touching distance for Lille, as they ended their three-game losing run away from home across all competitions last Sunday.
However, Paulo Fonseca will be thinking bigger than simply a spot in the Europa League or the Champions League qualifiers, as his side are just a single point behind Brest for an automatic berth in the Champions League group stage heading into the first weekend of May.
With two of their final three matches in the top flight this season coming at home, Lille will fancy their chances of finishing in the top four for the first time since winning this competition in 2020-21.
That is because they are unbeaten in 12 successive league matches at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, picking up 36 points at home in Ligue 1, more than any side in the top flight.
For the third time in their previous four domestic matches, Lyon found themselves behind in the early stages last Sunday, but to their credit, they were able to fight back and secure a narrow victory.
Throughout 2024, Pierre Sage’s side have often emerged victorious in league matches, winning nine times, more than any side in Ligue 1 this year.
Lyon suffered a 4-1 defeat to league champions Paris Saint-Germain in their previous away game but have not lost successive domestic matches as the visitors since December 2023.
The visitors currently find themselves five points behind Lens for a spot in the Europa Conference League next season with just three games left to play.
Lille vs. Lyon Head to head
In the previous 59 meetings between these two teams, Lille have claimed 23 victories while Lyon have won 18, and they have drawn in 18. Lyon have scored 78 goals and conceded 83 in the process.
