11^thMarch 2022 – 21:00, Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Villeneuve d’Ascq

Lille and St. Etienne will open the Ligue 1 28^th round action on Friday evening. The defending champions have raised the level of their performance lately. On the other hand, the away side started its getaway from the relegation zone.

Lille Preview & Team News

After winning their previous game, Lille will hope for a similar result following the 4:0 Ligue 1 triumph against Clermont Foot. That one saw them climbing to 7^th place, and the Champions League qualification is not far. Marseille is just five points ahead but also in poor form. A common feature of more recent Lille games is the number of results with nil in them. From their previous six clashes before this one, in 5 of them, a bet on both teams scoring would have been a losing one. Les Dogues have improved their defensive solidity and kept the clean sheet in the last four Ligue 1 games. Another win will get them closer to the top three.

St. Etienne Preview & Team News

St. Etienne will go into the meeting following on from a 1:0 Ligue 1 win with the eclipse of FC Metz in their last outing. Although things haven’t been so bright for the visitors, they finally bounced over the red line, being one point ahead of Lorient. The stats don’t lie, and St. Etienne has been scored against in 5 of their last six games, with opponents netting eight goals in all. Defensively, St. Etienne can certainly do much better. Going into this encounter, St. Etienne has left without a victory over Lille when playing them away from home in the previous 18 league matches. Nevertheless, they will look forward to winning some important points here. Thanks to a fully healthy group to pick from, the St. Etienne boss Pascal Dupraz has no fitness concerns to speak of before this match.

St. Etienne struggles when facing Lille on the road, and we don’t expect them to score many goals here. This match shouldn’t be too efficient, and we see it remaining under a 2.5 margin.
