Lille, Recent FormLille manager Paulo Fonseca will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Montpellier. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target, in contrast to Montpellier, who had 12 shots on goal with 7 on target.
7 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 17 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches overall.
They have been performing well at The Decathlon Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Jonathan David will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Lille.
Clermont Foot, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Strasbourg will be viewed as a positive outcome for Clermont Foot and a valuable point into the bargain. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 6 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Pascal Gastien will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Shamar Nicholson has scored in each of Clermont Foot's last league game.
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
It's been a long time since Les Lanciers have managed to find the back of the net against Lille, having failed to score against them in their last 4 league encounters. Clermont have struggled to break down the Les Dogues defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 1 time in their last 5 meetings.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Lille hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings.
Lille manager Paulo Fonseca has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Rémy Cabella (Hamstring), Ivan Cavaleiro (Groin) and Bafodé Diakité (Shoulder) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Clermont manager Pascal Gastien ahead of this clash, with Alan Virginius (Knee) missing out, which gives Gastien a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
