Fixture: Lille OSC vs AS Saint-Étienne League: Ligue 1 Venue: Stade Pierre-Mauroy Date: Tuesday 10th January Kick-off: 19:45 GMTBetting Preview:
Lille have been extremely hit or miss all season with losing runs extending two matches on more than one occasion, whilst a three match winning streak was secured over November/December. Since week 3, Saint Etienne have only scored more than a single goal in a Ligue 1 match on just three occasions. This shows how reliant they are on their defensive displays and this match could well become an attack vs. defence exhibition.Match Prediction:
Although the hosts come into this encounter on the back of three consecutive home matches without defeat, it's almost impossible to predict their fortunes in this one. Conversely, ASSE have failed to win in three of their last four away matches and with a trio of red cards over this period, we can be fairly confident that staying in the game for as long as possible will be their aim. With this in mind, despite Lille's unpredictable form, we are anticipating a match in which the hosts will dominate possession and have the lion's share of chances, whereas the visitors will struggle in front of goal.Possible Lineups:
Lille OSC: Enyeama; Corchia, Soumaoro, Civelli, Palmieri; Amadou, Sankhare; Lopes, Benzia, Sliti; Eder AS Saint-Étienne: Ruffier; Malcuit, Theophile-Catherine, Lacroix, M'Bengue; Pajot, Veretout, Dabo; Hamouma, Monnet-Paquet, SoderlundInjury News:
