Lille form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 1, Lille have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 7 games. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, but a victory now would be sweet for Lille.

A good away victory last time out for Lille, who won 2-1 against Rennes (placed 3rd). Midfield player Benjamin André got a match rating of 7.81 in that game, the max score being 10.

Before that, Lille drew at home versus Nantes.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lille as they are travelling to their away game against Wolfsburg in the Champions League. That match is four days after this one.

The Lille fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. On the other hand, Lille have conceded 9 goals.

A 0-1 defeat away at Olympique Marseille before that.
