Match Preview
Lyon have never been a model of stability, but this season things are particularly bad. Over the past six months, the squad has changed four coaches. However, they are still not completely safe from relegation to Ligue 2. Yesterday, the boys made a huge step in the right direction, defeating Marseille on their field in a hard-fought 1-0 win. Alexandre Lacazette has been useful in six consecutive games after a prolonged crisis, thus perfectly coping with both scoring and captaincy duties. In the past transfer window, Pierre Sage's gang signed seven players at once, indicating a global rebuilding.

Lille, on the contrary, shows quality soccer with enviable consistency. This winter the team lost only to Strasbourg (1:2), and in the fall it lost only to Reims (1:2). Such outstanding results of Paulo Fonseca's wards are mainly due to the stable defense (less than 1 conceded goal per game on average in the domestic championship - 2 indicators of all). Although they are quite good in attack as well. Benjamin Andre and company did not feel the resistance of Clermont (4:0), showing total superiority in every aspect (60% of ball possession, 13 shots on goal vs. 3, and 2.38 xG vs. 0.54).

Goaloo8 Prediction
There really is no unqualified favorite in the match, which makes you look at the situation from a different angle. The opponents are returning to an intense schedule after a relatively comfortable January calendar, and it is reasonable to assume that the powerful tension caused by the fear of relegation, as well as the banal fatigue associated with a difficult calendar, will convert into a huge amount of inappropriate rudeness on both sides. The LCD total over 4.5 is a reliable option for the match.
