The Ligue 1 champions will face Nice this Saturday for their second game this season. The match will kick off at Stade Pierre Mauroy at 16:00 pm (UK). As the defending champions are looking to steer to winning ways, read our analysis with predictions on Lille vs. Nice and betting tips.
Lille kicked off the season with a 3-3 draw against Metz. Metz had taken a 3-1 lead into the 56th minute when their midfielder Boubakar Kouyate was sent off for his actions. Lille has finally been able to reclaim the two goals they conceded against the Metz ten-man defense. Lille has surrendered the most goals in the tournament so far this season, and they are one of the teams that have done so. Will they be able to recuperate in time for their match against Nice this weekend?
According to the first-round analysis, Lille appears to be suffering, and this might even cost them the game against Nice this weekend. Nice is moderate which finished 9th in the table with 52 points. In the preseason they nearly lost all of their games. However, they managed to tie in two of their games, losing three of their games, and win 2-1 against Ukrainian Dynamo Kyiv. Going forward to their first game, they were able to hold Reims scoreless on their own turf.
Lille should be aware that they will be facing a defensive squad. On the other hand, when comparing their previous 5 head-to-head encounters, Nice has never won or scored in either of their two away matches. Christophe Galtier, a charming new manager, is returning to his previous team, but this time with a vengeance. In order to defend their championship, Lille will need to win this Saturday's encounter, and both clubs will be fired up after drawing their first match of the season.
Lille will be eager for a win in order to get back on track, but its ex-manager, who was in charge of the club from December 2017 to June 2021, will be on hand to cause trouble. Though Lille's main players have returned to form, the tactical Galtier who guided the squad to victory despite their financial difficulties will come on a revenge mission rather than a festival of football. Lille's new coach, Jocelyn Gourvennec, has a lot of work to do if the team is to avoid a home defeat.
Lille (4-4-2): Jardim, Celik, Fonte, Botman, Mandava, Sanches, Andre, Yazici, Bamba, David and Yilmaz.
Suspended: Djalo T
Injured: None
Nice (4-4-2): Benitez, Kamara, Dante, Todibo, Atal, Kluivert, Rosario, Thuram, Da Cunha, Ndoye and Gouiri.
Suspended; None

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
