LOSC Lille

The Lille have been proficient in their 4-2-3-1 under Bruno Genesio, finding a perfect balance between maintaining possession and being able to be deadly on the counter. They are now unbeaten in seven games following their 2-0 win over Lens last time out. Notably, Lille have been excellent at the back, managing to keep away from corners, with less than 10.5 corners in five of their last six matches. Moreover, they have received over 4.5 cards in all the last five matches, which speaks of the tough nature of their game. Strong at the back and consistent results going forward, they become formidable opponents.

Bruno Genesio's Lille have insisted upon a make-shift midfield with their 4-2-3-1 system, holding onto play through the two holding midfielders who disrupt opposition moves and advance on to transition quickly into their attacking trio. Unbeaten in seven, defense has been Lille's spine, holding shape and discipline that frustrates opposing offenses. The tactical discipline-the regular fouling to break up counters that has seen the accumulation of cards-keeps them in control and often allows them to scrape through in tightly contested matches. Their ability to keep games tight and limit corner situations does play into their strategy of minimizing set-piece vulnerabilities, thus avoiding costly mistakes.

Olympique Lyon

Positioning below Lille, Lyon have been in stellar improvements, most especially in first halves of play. They've been the first to score in four of their last five and often take a lead into the halftime break. The recent draw of 2-2 against Auxerre showed them getting up from a poor start and putting up an attacking display. The adopted 4-3-3 formation provides a fluid attack that often overwhelms any defense with pure pace and creative play. They have kept corners under 10.5 in six of their last seven games, pointing to the goal of minimal set-piece interruptions and a fluid, controlled style of play. MOTM Georges Mikautadze's outstanding performance last game made clear the depth in quality that Lyon maintain up front.

Lyon's 4-3-3 system places huge importance on fluency and command of offensive play in midfield. Often securing first blood in a majority of their recent encounters, Lyon's strategy rests on early momentum, high press, and exploiting spaces through dynamic wing play and effective interchanges among their forward three. The tendency to be leading at halftime indicates a structured approach towards controlling the early phases of the game. This also brings stability in midfield, ensuring that transition from back to front is smooth and continuous, hence allowing the team to take advantage of any gaps at the back presented by opponents. Also, the disciplined nature of Lyon not to give away corners shows a reliance on open play for creating goals rather than set pieces.

Head to Head

Lille 8, Lyon 6, Draws 6. This match between them has always been an exciting encounter; in four of the last five matches between them, over 2.5 goals were scored with both sides proficient in attack-a fact that is very likely to continue. In four of the last five matches between these two, a total of both teams scoring is seen, which shows how open and end-to-end such matches have been, and this has been to the good of the neutral fan. Given that there has been less than 10.5 corners in seven of the last eight for both of these sides, this fixture looks likely to follow suit given the corner tendencies of both of these sides.

Lyon edged out Lille with a pulsating 4-3 victory in May, which summed up just how full of goals this particular matchup has been.

Expert Betting Tips

This fixture pits the defensive rigidity and compact setup of Lille against the offensive agility and high-pressing 4-3-3 of Lyon. Lille's run of over 4.5 cards and under 10.5 corners indicates a physical and tactical approach that is likely to keep Lyon's attacks at bay and dictate the game's tempo. But Lyon's recent form has them leading at halftime a lot, showing their desire to capitalize early and press relentlessly. Attack-wise, Georges Mikautadze, the MOTM in Lyon's last game, is surely an attacking threat Lille must carefully attend to if they are to keep the unbeaten record.
