Tip and bets
In this game current champion will have a dangerous opponent, Nice, who has improved the squad, plus this club plays great on away games. Lille already dropped points in the match against Metz, which is unacceptable for the golden medal contenders.
We think that new head coach will be able to analyze team's mistakes and motivate his players for the success. We are expecting a victory from the Red-Blues due to their class and home advantage.
Our prediction - Lille to win
Head-to-head matches are usually not so high-scoring. This game is unlikely going to be an exception and the outcome will be decided by one or two goals.
Our second bet is on total under 2.5 goals
