Lille set to continue their stellar campaign with a win over Amiens

On Friday night, Lille host Amiens at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Ligue One, as the home side looks to continue their promising campaign in the French top-flight.

Lille are currently second place in Ligue One, 13 points behind leaders PSG and four points clear of third place Lyon. A run of just one defeat in six outings in Ligue One has aided the home sides unlikely challenge for a Champions League spot this season.

Les Dogues recorded a 3-1 win at Caen last time out in the French top-flight. The game saw both teams score in a Lille game for the fourth straight Ligue One game.

Surprisingly considering their high position in the table, Lille’s recent home form in Ligue One has been poor, as they have failed to win in four home matches in the French top-flight. However, three of those four winless home matches have finished all square.

Lille’s recent home games in Ligue One have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in ten of their last 13 league games on home soil.

Amiens are just one place and one point above the relegation play-off spot. The visitors have been in poor form of late in the French top-flight, winning just once in their last seven league games. Last time out, Amiens suffered a 3-0 home defeat against champions PSG.

The visitor’s recent away record in the French top-flight is poor, as they have recorded just two wins from 13 matches on their travels. They have also struggled for goals on their travels of late, scoring just six goals in ten Ligue One matches away from home. At the other end of the pitch, Amiens have also kept just one clean sheet in eight games on their travels in Ligue One.

Forebet predicts that Lille will record a comfortable victory in a high scoring game to consolidate their position in second place of Ligue One.
