Goal Statistics

Lille's forwards have been superb of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 4 consecutive Ligue 1 matches. A PG of 2.0 suggests that run should continue on Saturday night.

Lille's defensive record is very strong, B. Génésio's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive Ligue 1 outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Nice makes sense in this context.
