Lille vs Lyon Prediction and Betting Tips


Lille to welcome Lyon at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy for a round of 16 of the Coupe de France this Sunday.

These two sides are among League 1The strongest teams today, with Lille currently in 4th place in the table and Lyon just one place below them in 5th. This means, for all intents and purposes, it’s the game of the trick.

So, who will advance to the round of 16?

Lille vs Lyon head-to-head and key figures

  • Lyon’s recent record against Lille is very solid. They have won four of their last six meetings with them and have not lost to The Mastiffs since November 2023.
  • Lille’s last Coupe de France match wasn’t exactly inspiring, as they needed a goal in the 80th minute to beat fourth division side Lusitanos Saint-Maur. They are hoping for a better performance here.
  • Lyon, meanwhile, dismissed an even lower-ranked team, FC Saint-Cyr Collonges, in the round of 16, winning 3-0. However, they too struggled to break down their opponents, only opening the scoring in the 52nd minute.
  • Lille’s return to action after the Christmas break last weekend was disappointing. They lost to Rennes and also had Alexsandro Ribeiro sent off. Remarkably, the red card was the sixth for a Lille player in their last eight matches.
  • Lyon, on the other hand, were impressive last weekend against a dangerous opponent in Monaco, beating them 1-3 away. They have now lost just one of their last seven matches in all competitions and have won five during that run.

Lille vs Lyon Prediction

Given that these two teams are flying high in Ligue 1 and tied, this one is definitely a tough match to call.

Lille’s home advantage may prove crucial, but the fact is that Lyon are in much better form than their opponents recently, and Lille’s recent indiscipline will be a real concern for them.

This one could go one way or the other, but the prediction is a victory for Lyon.

Prediction: Lille 0-1 Lyon
