Market: Lyon win
Odds:
With a spot in the final of this year s French League Cup up for grabs in midweek, Lyon will welcome Lille to the Groupama Stadium on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, despite making a string of changes over the weekend, Lyon managed to pick up a stunning 4-3 victory away at Nantes and find the mood in their camp at a continued high. With their sights now firmly set on mounting a top-four charge after a sluggish start to the new campaign, Les Gones now find themselves in the midst of a four-match winning run and have a growing reputation for their performances in the final third. Led by the red-hot Moussa Dembélé who has now found the net in each of his last four matches on the bounce, Lyon have now bagged a remarkable 16 goals on their winning run. Also landing back-to-back victories at the Groupama Stadium, there is no doubt that Rudi Garcia s men should be confident of extending their recent purple patch in midweek.
As for the visitors, while Lille might be coming along well in this year s domestic cups, Christophe Galtier s men have begun to show some recent worries against Ligue 1 opposition. Hit with back-to-back defeats, including a 5-1 hammering away at Monaco prior to the festive break, Les Dogues also have a growing reputation for their continued issues away from the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Losing four of their last five top-flight matches on their travels, Lille have remarkable picked up just a sole Ligue 1 away win since opening the 2019/2020 campaign. With Lille starting to show some cause for concern, we re backing Tuesday s hosts to come out on top in midweek.
Bet: Lyon 10/11 to beat Lille in Tuesday s French League Cup tie
