Lyon has a game in hand and they are trailing by 11 points behind the current leader, Monaco. Of course, that's a huge margin, but if they continue playing like this in the next month or two, Lyon may even end up fighting for the Ligue 1 title! Of course, their primary goal is to finish in the top 3 and qualify for Champions League. They have some problems with injured players, Darder and Diakhaby won't be able to feature in the forthcoming match.

LILLE NEWS

Lille is currently only two points above the relegation zone and they desperately need points. However, Lyon is in an amazing form currently and it will be hard for Lille to snatch a point from this match. In addition, they will host last-placed Lorient in the next week, so their focus will certainly be on that match. Lille are also having some problems with injured players - Mothiba, Terrier and Mavuba are unavailable for the forthcoming match.

SUMMING UP!

Lyon is in a much better form at the moment. Lille will probably be happy with a draw and they will field up a defensive oriented team. However, with 15 goals scored in the last 5 matches, Lyon should have no problem to break the deadlock.
