Competition: Ligue 1
Market: Lille win
Odds: 21/20 @ 888sport
Desperate to make it back-to-back Ligue 1 victories on Wednesday night, Lille will welcome Nice to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Starting with the hosts, while Lille might have come under real scrutiny for their dreadful 7-1 drumming at the hands of PSG on August 21st, the former Ligue 1 champions managed to find an immediate response. Last seen over the weekend picking up some perfect momentum as they cruised their way to a 3-1 victory away at Ajaccio, Head Coach Paulo Fonseca is desperate for his side to claim back-to-back top-flight wins here. Opening the 2022/23 campaign with a thumping 4-1 romp at home against Auxerre, Les Dogues should also be boosted by their most recent meeting against Wednesday’s opponents. Claiming a 3-1 victory when they last faced off against Nice back on May 14th, it should also be highlighted that the one-time Roma boss has seen his side lose just one of their previous six meetings against Nice, a run that stems all the way back to November 2018.
As for the visitors, while Nice might have managed to extend on their European adventure earlier in the month thanks to a nail-biting 2-1 aggregate victory against Israeli outfit Maccabi Tel Aviv, Lucien Favre’s men are in the midst of a domestic slump. Last seen over the weekend putting in a nightmare display as they were blown away thanks to a 3-0 drumming at home against Marseille, the former Borussia Dortmund boss does find growing pressure on his shoulders. Opening up the 2022/23 campaign with back-to-back 1-1 draws against Toulouse and Strasbourg, Nice have failed to win any of their first four Ligue 1 showdowns. Firmly battling it out at the foot of the table, Wednesday’s guests could face a stern test at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Suffering that 3-1 loss when they last faced off against Lille three months ago, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
Bet: Lille 21/20 to beat Nice in Wednesday’s Ligue 1 matchup @ 888sport
