On Oct 30th, Lille will travel to Décines-Charpieu to battle Olympique Lyonnais in a meeting of these two evenly matched Ligue 1 teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Olympique Lyonnais is fresh off their 2-1 win against Montpellier. Houssem Aouar struck first for Olympique Lyonnais in the 33rd minute, then Sepe Elye Wahi tied it up for Montpellier in the 70th minute on a feed from Jordan Ferri. Olympique Lyonnais is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 6th placed Lille, recorded a 4-3 win against Monaco. Alexsandro Ribeiro scored the first goal for Lille in the 22nd minute, but Caio Henrique got the equalizer for Monaco in the 34th minute , but luckily for Lille it didn’t end there. They were able to keep scoring to earn themselves the victory. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Lille should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Lille won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
