Lille will be looking to maintain their recent good form when they go away to Lyon in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Lyon head into Sunday’s clash off the back of a 2-1 victory at Montpellier in their previous Ligue 1 fixture. They took a first half lead through Houssem Aouar and were made to wait till added time before Alexandre Lacazette netted the winner.
That was a much-needed result for Lyon as it ended a run of six matches without a win. The result was also vital in reviving their quest for European football as they are now up to eighth on the table, six points off the top six.
One thing that has remained solid for Lyon is their record at Groupama Stadium, where they have lost only to PSG in the last 10 Ligue 1 matches, a run stretching back to last season. However, Laurent Blanc's men were held to a 1-1 draw by Toulouse in their previous home fixture.
Lille have been in good form lately and head to Lyon with four wins from their last five matches. That run has seen them fly up the table and they are now up to sixth, just five points behind Lens in second place.
Paulo Fonseca’s men are coming off a thrilling 4-3 victory over Monaco in their previous Ligue 1 fixture. Remy Cabella netted a brace while Alexsandro Ribeiro and Jonathan Bamba were also on target.
Lille have been slightly inconsistent on their travels this season with three wins from their six away matches so far. They recently ended a run of two straight defeats on the road by picking up a 3-0 victory at Strasbourg in their previous away fixture.
