Command Analysis

Lille

Current form
Lille is in great shape. On their own field, the team has been unbeaten for 12 consecutive matches — eight wins and four draws. In the Champions League, the team has already secured its participation in the 1/8 finals. By the way, this success was achieved by the only one of the four French clubs. The other three hit 1/16.
A rest in the Champions League may allow Bruno Genesio's players to concentrate on their performances in the national championship and in the cup of the country, where they have not been able to overcome the quarterfinals stage for eight consecutive seasons. The upcoming opponent is quite passable. The main thing is to avoid underestimation.
Disqualifications and injuries
Santos, Bentaleb, Umtiti, Zhegrova, Fernandez-Pardo and Ismaily are injured and will not play.
Interesting betting trends
- Lille does not lose 12 matches in a row at home.
- The hosts have scored in the last six games
Provisional squad: Mannone – Meunier, Diakite, Alexandro, Gudmundsson – Bouaddi, B.Andre – I.Mbappe, Haraldsson, Sahraoui – David

Dunkerque

Current form
Dunkirk is fighting to get into Ligue 1 next season. Currently, after 21 matches played with 36 points, the team is in fourth place in the standings. Despite such good performance in the national championship, it is possible to conduct high-quality games in the French Cup. For example, Arno was confidently beaten in the last round (3:1), and Auxerre (1-0) the year before that. The upcoming opponent is of a completely different caliber than past rivals, and many analysts are inclined to believe that the guests will not be able to overcome this stage.

2.10Tip and bets
Lille is much higher in playing class, and due to the fact that the team has already reached the 1/8 finals, the coaching staff will instruct their players to win the match confidently, because they will not be able to compete for the Ligue 1 championship, as the gap from the leading PSG is 15 points. But there is a great chance to reach the quarterfinals of the national cup, and, as we believe, the "dogs" will not miss it.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Lille with a coefficient of 2.15
Bet on the total
Dunkirk has not played against a rival of Lille's level yet this season. The guests are well aware that the hosts will play number one and demonstrate an attacking style of play. They will have no choice but to accept such rules, and, as we believe, Dunkirk will not leave the field without scoring a goal, because that was the case in the last five away matches, but they will probably miss their own goal more than once.
Our forecast is that both will score with a coefficient of 2.01
Betting on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that the game will be interesting for scoring chances, and a lot of them will be created thanks to serves from the corner flag.
Our forecast is a total of more than 9.5 corners with a coefficient of 1.77
