Lille - Nice predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Nice may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Lille and the 5.54 odds given to Nice to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

The last Ligue 1 game is nothing Lille should be proud of. They were $ ODDS_AWAY_WIN_LAST_ROUND favourites to claim an easy win but a Halftime/Fulltime victory by a margin of one goal sure had their fans worry until the final whistle.

Nice were slight favourites at odds of 2.22 for their previous home match, but that didn’t seem to matter in the end. They lost 1:2 to Paris Saint Germain after some concessions in the first half that they never managed to overcome.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The number 5th table position Nice are in is a respectable outcome to end the season on, though they’re likely disappointed they never managed to move further up. The season is on its last few legs and they’re heading into the bout on Sunday as clear underdogs.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. Lille played against Nice on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

Yusuf Yazıcı, Samuel Umtiti, Juan Ignacio Miramon will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.03, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
