Lille form and stats

Lille have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Ligue 1. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

The fans are hoping that Lille will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Champions League game against Salzburg. Midfielder Timothy Weah was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.15 (out of ten) in that game. Weah dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Strasbourg.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lille have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost one.

The Lille fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Lille are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
