Lille – Nice

Lille enter the clash as league leaders, sitting atop the table with ten points from three wins and a draw and a formidable 7‑2 goal difference. Nice, languishing in 18th place with just two points from two stalemates and two defeats, have struggled to find the net, managing only one goal while conceding five. The stark contrast in form and firepower makes Lille heavy favourites on their home turf, while Nice will be desperate to salvage any points to avoid slipping further down the standings. Their head‑to‑head record this season offers little hope for the French side, as Lille have already demonstrated a clear superiority in both results and scoring.
