Lille form

Lille look back on their last three matches with six points to show from their efforts. Against Lorient, they were left empty-handed in a 2-1 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Lens in a 1-0 win. They followed that up with a 0-3 win against Strasbourg in their most recent outing. Lille won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Ligue 1, while also drawing one.

In a season where everything simply clicks, Lille might even reach the upper third of the table but right now, they are on course for a solid mid-table finish.
