In Ligue 1, Lille hasn't lost in eight games in a row, with three wins and five draws. Lille have climbed to tenth place in the French league table with 29 points from 20 games. The team stands a good chance of qualifying for the European competitions, as the gap between fifth-placed Monaco isn't big (4 points). In their last meeting, Lille drew with Marseille (1:1).

There's not much to say about Lorient. The league outsider will continue to struggle for survival throughout the season. After 17 rounds, they have 17 points and sit 18th in the French league table. In their last match, Lorient drew twice. First, they sensationally drew with PSG (1:1) and then Angers (0:0).

Lille is definitely the favourite. They need to beat a very lowly team in the upcoming game and move higher in the standings. The hosts have looked pretty confident in recent games, and we don't think they will have any problems against Lorient. Prediction: Lille will win with a handicap (-1).
