Lille

WWDWDW 📈

Lille will be looking for another win after a 0-1 Ligue 1 victory against Monaco.

In that game, Lille had 45% possession and 7 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. For their opponents, Monaco got 7 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Denis Zakaria (72' Own goal) was the scorer for Monaco.

A common trait of more recent Lille games is the number of nil scores.

From their prior 6 clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have lost.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Lille:

• have not been beaten in the league by AJ Auxerre in their last 9 games. A decent run, indeed.
• are undefeated in their previous 6 home league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 2 matches in the league.

AJ Auxerre

DDDLWW 🌤

AJ Auxerre go into this clash after a 2-1 Ligue 1 win to beat Nice in their most recent fixture.

In that match, AJ Auxerre had 52% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. For AJ Auxerre, goals were scored by Sékou Mara (27') and Lassine Sinayoko (70'). Nice had 10 shots at goal with 6 on target. Sofiane Diop (9') scored for Nice.

AJ Auxerre have been a threat going forward leading up to this encounter, having scored 10 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Christophe Pélissier will no doubt take that as a positive sign, AJ Auxerre have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same games. Still, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern will persist here in this game.

Analysis of their past results shows that AJ Auxerre:

• have not beaten Lille in away games against them for the last 4 league games. Not good.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 5 league matches.

We reckon that AJA seem likely to play in a 4-3-3 lineup, giving starts to Donovan Leon, Lamine Sy, Sinaly Diomande, Telli Siwe, Gideon Mensah, Naouirou Ahamada, Elisha Owusu, Kevin Danois, Lassine Sinayoko, Sekou Mara and Danny Namaso.

💡 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Lille certainly have the ability to create enough chances to score more than one when they face AJ Auxerre, who might well find it difficult to get a goal of their own.

We’re tipping a controlled 2-0 winning score for Lille after 90 minutes.
