Sunday evening, the 11th day of Ligue 1 ends with a meeting between Lille and Lorient. Lille hopes to get closer to PSG while Lorient wants to get ahead of the red zone.
4th in the last season just one point in the Champions League, Lille proves, week after week, that he would have had the level to compete in this competition. Excellent in the Europa League where it remains on a memorable success against AC Milan at San Siro (0-3), LOSC is also the No. 1 underdog for the Ligue 1 title behind PSG. Indeed, the Mastiffs have lost only once in the league despite a daunting schedule. Victorious over Strasbourg (0-3) then Lens (4-0), the Northerners then had to share the points with Nice (1-1) and Lyon (1-1) before marking time against Brest (3-2 ) just before the international break.
For its part, Lorient is struggling for the moment in Ligue 1 that the club joined last summer after a few years of absence. Indeed, the Hakes only took 8 points during the first 10 days and barely found themselves with their heads above water, in 17th place in the standings. Despite good offensive dispositions, the Morbihanais did not manage to achieve good series. Since their great victory obtained in Reims (1-3), the Bretons have been beaten by Marseille (0-1) before being held in check by the Dijon red lantern (0-0) and losing in the derby against Nantes (0-2) in the last match.
Le Losc should compose without the potentially starting winger Araujo, still hampered by a sprained ankle. On the other hand, executives Celik and André are back from suspension and should resume their place in midfield. Despite the defeat in Brest, the Turkish veteran Yilmaz stood out by sounding the revolt and scoring a double. He has brought his total of goals scored to 6 in Ligue 1 since arriving in the North.
The Hakes should just be deprived of the defender Saunier who is still recovering. On the other hand, the winger Boisgard will return from suspension. With respectively 4 and 3 goals scored, attackers Wissa and Hamel both apply for a place in the starting 11 of Christophe Pélissier as the Austrian international Grbic, scorer 3 times in 3 games with his selection during the international break.
The probable compositions for Lille vs Lorient:
Lille: Maignan – Celik, Jose Fonte, Botman, Bradaric – André, Renato Sanches – Ikoné, Yazici, Bamba – Burak Yilmaz.
Lorient: Nardi – Mendes, Laporte, Gravillon, Le Goff – Laurienté, Chalobah, Abergel, Wissa – Grbic, Hamel.
Coaches have the possibility of making 5 substitutions during the game.
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
Unsurprisingly, Lille should win without too much problem in this meeting. Lille victory!
