The last season's champions of France have failed to defend the league title, but are still doing well in the 2021/22 campaign. Jocelyn Gourvennec's men are currently seventh-placed, but are only five points from the top three, and I believe they will do their best to finish the season nicely. A win against poor Saint-Etienne would do wonders for the hosts, who could rise to fifth place with the three points here. St. Etienne is terrible this season, only one point away from the relegation zone. It wasn't expected from one of the most supported clubs in France, which is also doing decently economically. Still, Pascal Dupraz's squad continues to improve in 2022, losing just one of their previous five matches. The guests' only defeat was against PSG, and they are coming from a 1-0 victory over Metz at home.

Lille has no injuries ahead of this duel, and the same cannot be said for the away side. The visitors miss four players, those being Romain Hamouma, Yvann Macon, Saidou Sow, and Enzo Crivelli. Lille has won three of its last four home meetings vs. AS Saint-Etienne. The two sides shared points in their last three meetings, playing 1-1 and 0-0 in 2021. Lille's form is, however, great right now, and I expect them to easily defeat "the Greens". Lille is coming from a 4-0 win over Clermont, while also managing to beat Lyon and Montpellier in their previous five matches. LOSC was decent vs. Chelsea, playing away from home, but Gourvennec's team still lost 2-0.

Having the second-worst defense in Ligue 1, ASSE isn't confident about coming into this game. Their opponent put four goals in its previous game, and is overall better both offensively and defensively. I cannot see the guests taking any points here, and will predict Lille to win. Good luck!

上个赛季的冠军法国队未能卫冕，但在2021/22赛季仍然表现出色。乔斯林·古尔文尼克的男队目前排名第七，但只比前三名差5分，我相信他们会尽最大努力完成这个赛季。如果能战胜可怜的圣艾蒂安，将会给东道主带来奇迹，他们可能会凭借三分上升到第五名。圣艾蒂安这个赛季很糟糕，离降级区只差一分。作为法国最受支持的俱乐部之一，它在经济上也做得不错，这是意料之外的。尽管如此，帕斯卡·迪普拉兹的球队在2022年继续进步，他们之前五场比赛中只输了一场。客人们唯一的失败是对巴黎圣日耳曼，他们是在主场1-0战胜梅茨的。

里尔在这场决斗之前没有受伤，而客场的情况就不一样了。客队缺了四名球员，分别是罗曼·哈莫马、伊万·梅肯、赛杜·索乌和恩佐·克里维利。里尔在最近四场主场对阵圣艾蒂安的比赛中赢了三场。双方在最近的三次交锋中，分别在2021年1比1和0比0的比赛中得分相同。里尔现在的状态很好，我希望他们能轻松击败“绿党”。里尔4-0战胜克莱蒙特，同时在之前的五场比赛中也成功击败了里昂和蒙彼利埃。LOSC在客场对阵切尔西时表现不错，但Gourvennec的球队还是以2-0输掉了比赛。

ASSE拥有法甲第二糟糕的防守，对于参加这场比赛没有信心。他们的对手在前一场比赛中进了四个球，整体上在进攻和防守上都更好。我看不出客人们会在这里得分，我预测里尔会赢。好运！
