Last weekend, no one expected Paulo Fonseca’s Lyon to be beaten so badly by Strasbourg. The former Milan coach got off to a bad start and ended up even worse, and now finds himself out of the European places with a big match to play on Saturday evening.
E, against a team that is two points ahead in the standings and that would come out with a smile even in the event of a draw. Lille, in fact, currently occupies fifth place and is not even too far from third position – two points – which would allow the Rossoneri to play in the Champions League again next year. It’s a challenge, therefore, between two teams with high ambitions, but in the end the difference will be made by the home field advantage, and then, whether you like it or not, also by the experience of the Lyon players in approaching these matches.
In matches like this, we know, keeping a cool head can make all the difference. And in Lyon there are men who have played many games of inside or outside. And then there is also the will to put last week’s bad defeat behind them. In short, all the indications point to a victory for the home team, who cannot afford to miss the opportunity to get back into the top positions in the standings.

The prediction
Lyon are favorites for all the reasons we explained to you earlier. A match with at least three goals in total, and in which even Lille (who still have some important players) should be able to score. But it’s a done deal for the three points.
