Losc Lille are in good form in the French Ligue 1 and they have won 6 home games at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Lille have won 18 times in their past 36 meetings with Saint-Étienne. So, I strongly suggest that Lille is expected to defeat Saint-Étienne...

Lille have won 3 of their past 5 games drawing one in the process (3W, 1D, 2L)

Coming into this game, Lille have picked up 10 points from the last 5 games, both home and away. That's 2 points per game on average. Lille have enjoyed home matches recently, with the side currently unbeaten in 2 games. Momentum is seriously building for Lille as they have now gone on a four game unbeaten streak. They have won 3 of the last 5 games they have played. Both have played 42 matches so far. Lille won 20 direct matches. Saint-Etienne won 9 matches. 13 matches ended in a draw. On average in direct matches both teams scored 2.40 goals per Match. Lille in actual season averaged 1.27 goals per match.

Lille have gotten 42 points in 27 games this season which is a good record as defending Ligue 1 champions although they are on the verge of losing the title to Paris Saint Germain.

While saint etienne have racked up just 25 points and are in 17th position trying their best to escape relegation to Ligue 2

Lille also has a winning odd of 1.65 as to Saint etienne's odd of 5.30

Which suggests, Lille will surely come out as the upper hand and Saint-Etienne are going into the match as underdogs

A Lille win is more likely to happen than any other scoreline.
