Match description
Lille are the favorites for this fixture: the hosts have scored 11 goals in their last 5 matches while conceding just 4, whereas Nice have only 4 goals and have conceded 12 over the same period. At home Lille average 1.64 goals per game, register 14.86 shots with 4.71 on target, and have an average xG of 1.69, while Nice on the road record 1.14 goals, 10.07 shots and xG 1.19. The defensive gap is significant: Lille concede 1.00 goal on average at home and keep clean sheets in 36% of matches, while Nice concede 2.14 goals away and have only 7% clean sheets. Lille have won 4 of their last 5 matches, averaging 2.4 points per game in that span, whereas Nice in their last 5 have 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses and average 0.8 points per game. Considering the advantage in xG (1.69 vs 1.19), shots (14.86 vs 10.07) and the hosts’ defensive stability, I predict a Lille victory.
