Lille OSC - AS Saint-Étienne ai prediction 16.05.2021 Ligue 1

Betting Tip for matchday 37 of the 2020/2021 Ligue 1 between Lille OSC and AS Saint-Étienne.

Lille OSC vs Saint-Etienne, Ligue 1, 16.05.2021

Lille could take a significant step towards the Ligue 1 as they welcome St. Etienne to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy this weekend. Four points in their last two games will guarantee their first Ligue 1 title since 2011. The league leaders have struggled at home recently, could they finally put that to rest with a win over St. Etienne?

Betfox offers amazing odds for the game, and we will present our betting tips based on the odds they are offering.

LILLE OSC

Lille are on the verge of making history this season with the Lihue 1 title within a touching distance. The Les Dogues have been impressive so far and it is really hard to bet against them these days. Last time out, Lille rolled over Lens with a fairly comfortable win on the road.

Now back at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, it is hard to project any other outcome for this game other than a Lille win given their run of form and their Head-to-Head record against the visitors. The home team are unbeaten in four straight H2H clashes against Saint-Etienne, winning three of those.

It will not be out of place to say Lille have got St. Etienne’s number as the visitors have not won at the Stade Pierre- Maury in the last nine visits and they have only a solitary win in seventeen games away to Lille since 2004. Although Lille have struggled at home lately, winning only two of their last 6 matches at home. However, the smart money will be on the home side to take all three points given what is at stake.

Christophe Galtier has the luxury of picking a number of important players for this fixture with almost an entirely fit squad.

SAINT-ETIENNE

Saint Etienne are going into the game with nothing really to play for aside from the possibility of throwing title favourites Lille of their balance should the Les verts win. They currently occupy the 11th position on the log with no chance of playing European football next season.

The visitors will be satisfied with their mid-table finish, but the prospects of betting the league leaders and potential champions on their own stomping ground will be enough motivation as they clash with the Les Dogues.

The visitors have won four of their last six matches including back-to-back wins over Marseille and Montpellier. Defensively, they may not have the best rearguard in the league, but they have certainly improved in that regard.

Going by that, this fixture might be a little for the hosts as Saint Etienne will draw some confidence from their last two games.

Possible Line Ups

LILLE VS SAINT-ETIENNE BETTING TIPS

Lille are well-drilled side, producing results matchday after matchday. Going forward they are pretty pleasing to watch and are capable of breaking down any defence especially when they are playing at home.

However, there has been an improvement in St. Etienne’s backline. Clearly a departure from what we witnessed earlier. Having said that, we have found value in the goals market and we are backing under 2.5 goals to be scored at 1.95 with Betfox review.

For the second tip, the prospect of Lille earning all three points in this fixture is too enticing to ignore. The visitors may give the Lille attackers some problems, but Christophe Galtier’s men will do just enough to carry the day. So we reckon Lille should win at 1.40 on Betfox again.
