Lyon's stint in Coupe de France came to a disappointing end in their last fixture, where they suffered a 2-0 quarter-final defeat to rivals Monaco. But they will look to quickly switch their attention to business in the French top flight.

Meanwhile, Lille's title hopes suffered a slight hit when they were held to a stalemate in their last outing. Hence, they would surely be in search of a win when they head into this pivotal clash, as they look to get their title charge back on track.

Lyon vs Lille Team News

Lille are on a holistic mission this season, and it seems that ending the dominance of Paris Saint-Germain is the main aim of this assignment. And to be honest, they have been impressive in the French top flight, giving the French champions a run for their money.

Indeed, a record of 20 wins, 10 draws, and 3 losses leaves them at the top of the league, having amassed a total of 70 points from 33 league games. However, their position at the top remains threatened by rivals, as this open title race rages on.

In fact, only three points separates Les Dogues from Lyon who sits in 4th-place, while PSG are just a point adrift the top spot. And should PSG secure victory in their match against Metz later today, they could temporarily assume their rightful position at the summit, thereby leaving Lille with no choice but victory in this important fixture.

Quite interestingly, Lyon were the league leaders at the end of last year, but they now sit three places away from the top. Although they have had to deal with some level of inconsistency, the possibility of them clinching the title can't be totally ruled out.

It ended in defeat the last time Lyon were in action, after conceding twice to Monaco who ultimately booked a spot in the semi-finals of Coupe de France. This midweek cup defeat would come off the back of a narrow 2-1 victory over Nantes last Sunday.

Without any doubt, Les Gones would fancy a win here, which would mark their third consecutive league victory. Although it must be said that their home form lately - two losses in four games on home soil - would be a huge source of concern, especially after considering the away record of their opponents.

In the reverse fixture, both sides had to settle for a share of the spoils, as the scoreline read 1-1 at full-time. However, given what is at stake, and how the result of this fixture could potentially impact the rest of each side's season, this clash is bound to be an entertaining affair between the two title challengers.

Lyon vs Lille Predictions

This impressive Lille side boast the best defensive record in the French top flight, having shipped a measly total of 20 goals so far this season. However, an attacking force sporting the likes of Memphis Depay and Lucas Paqueta would have any defense at its mercy. But given Lille's strength away from home, we are backing them to triumph in this contest.
