On the 26th day of Ligue 1 action, Lille extends its hospitality to Lyon this Sunday in what promises to be a riveting encounter between two Champions League qualification hopefuls. Currently occupying the 3rd spot in the standings, LOSC is determined to maintain its position.
Unfortunately, Franck Béria will be absent from the Lille lineup for this crucial match, leaving the team without the services of the Malagasy-origin defender due to a collarbone injury.
Following a 2-2 draw against Evian last weekend, Lille finds itself vulnerable to challenges from rivals for a podium finish. Thus, this upcoming match holds immense significance for René Girard’s squad, especially considering their recent form of just one victory in their last seven Ligue 1 outings. With a formidable record at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, having secured nine wins out of twelve matches, Lille sees this fixture as an opportunity to thwart a direct competitor’s advancement.
