Lille will aim to take another huge step towards landing the Ligue 1 crown. And this fired-up side don't seem like resting anytime soon, especially after their morale-boosting performance against title rivals Lyon last weekend.

Meanwhile, Nice will merely look to kick on with their Ligue 1 campaign, having made a return to winning ways against Montpellier on Sunday. While they have very little to fight for, as the season comes to a close, they would surely consider a top-half finish fair for all their troubles.

Lille vs Nice Team News

In their last match, Lille came from behind to claim a crucial win in a five-goal thriller against Lyon at Groupama Stadium. Islam Slimani opened scoring for the hosts, before a Jose Fonte own goal helped double their lead. Subsequently, Burak Yilmaz pulled one back for Lille on the cusp of halftime, setting both sides up for a decisive second 45 minutes.

After the interval, and right on the hour mark, Burak Yilmaz was involved again but rather as the provider, setting up Jonathan David for the timely equalizer. However, Yilmaz wasn't done yet, as he capped off his man-of-the-match performance with another goal, perhaps the most important one, which ultimately sealed the victory for the visitors.

Consequently, this important victory ensured Les Dogues returned back to the summit, having temporarily lost their place following Paris Saint-Germain's triumph over Metz. And they sit in the top spot with an impressive total of 73 points, a point above champions PSG.

That said, Christophe Galtier will charge his side to not rest on their laurels, as the title race is all but concluded, especially with Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco breathing down their necks on the standings.

Meanwhile, Nice will be less pressured by the performance of others, given their position on the league table. A massive 21 points separates them from the least European qualification spot, as they currently sit in 9th-place on the log, having gathered a total of 46 points from 34 league games.

Quite frankly, this less-appealing return of points isn't unconnected to the stop-start nature of their campaign. However, until their most recent defeat - a shock 2-0 defeat to lowly Dijon, Les Aiglons were enjoying a six-match undefeated streak, comprising of four wins.

Nice have since bounced back in brilliant fashion, claiming a resounding 3-1 victory over 8th-placed Montpellier in their last match. Having gone a goal down inside three minutes of the game, Nice responded swiftly with an equalizer, then, they scored another two goals within a minute before the end of the first half to take the game away from their visitors.

Lille: Timothy Weah.

Lille vs Nice Predictions

Unsurprisingly, Lille boast the best defensive record in the French top flight – 22 goals conceded in 34 league games so far. That said, while we envisage an entertaining affair – which would produce no less than three goals between both sides – we also have our money on Lille to edge out as winners.
