📰 Team News: Lille

We think that LOSC may well employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this one with Lucas Chevalier, Tiago Santos, Bafode Diakite, Leny Yoro, Ismaily, Nabil Bentaleb, Benjamin Andre, Edon Zhegrova, Angel Gomes, H. Arnar Haraldsson and Jonathan David.

We’re of the thinking that Les Artésiens could decide to elect for a 3-4-3 formation, starting Brice Samba, Jonathan Gradit, Kevin Danso, Facundo Medina, Ruben Aguilar, Nampalys Mendy, Neil El Aynaoui, P. Frankowski, Florian Sotoca, Elye Wahi and David Costa.

✨ Prediction_ BTTS

In this game, RC Lens will likely create enough chances to breach the defence of this Lille side, but that possibly won’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We think that it’s going to be both teams to score in a 2-1 win for Lille by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
