Betting tips for Lille VS Amiens 18.01.2019

Matchday 21 of Ligue 1 2018/19 kicks off this weekend with the meeting between Lille and Amiens at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. The locals enter the field with the aim of defending the second place, while the foreign formation tries to escape to the last places. There will be two rival teams facing each other due to the geographical proximity.

Lille are second in Ligue 1 2018/19 with 37 points, 13 fewer than the pSG leader, but he is well aware that the title is only a utopia, and it remains to be seen how many rounds of the end the PSG will confirm. the achievement of another Gallic championship. The Stade Pierre-Mauroy's fight is to ensure they return to the Champions League final and have to finish on the podium. Saint-Étienne is just a point away and Lyon, with three, is probably the most contentious emblem in this podium fight, figuring out a tricky task for Lille. This meeting is even more important for Lille given that their two main pursuers will face each other on Sunday.

Despite the unexpected defeat at the hands of Toulouse (1-2) in goodbye to 2018, the new year has begun to feature for Lille, who have won both encounters: they defeated Sochaux 1-0 at home to France, and also triumphed at Caen (1-3) for Ligue 1. The draw at the hands of Toulouse was the only Lille allowed to play to their fans in the current season, noting that the team trained by Christophe Galtier will strive to prolong. The Portuguese Rafael Leão is one of the options of the French coach for the last third of the terrain and note that Lille scored at least one goal in each of his last seven games. At home, just was not able to counter Strasbourg's defensive organization (0-0).

In Lille there is the fourth less-missed defense of Ligue 1 with 20 goals embedded in so many challenges. Expelled in the encounter with the Caen, Mehmet Çelik is low in Lille and can be surrendered by the Portuguese Edgar Ié.


 While Lille fight for the millions that entry and participation in the Champions League provide, Amiens struggles for much more modest goals and tries to escape relegation. In 17th place, it is only one point above the danger line and a loss in Lille could lead to a drop for the last three. In the last five matches, Amiens have won five points, a positive record given that in the two games they failed to win, they fell to PSG (0-3) and Lyon (2-3). At the weekend, Amiens was even able to sustain PSG's momentum until close to game time, but would lose three goals to zero, goals from Cavani, Mbappé and Marquinhos.

In defensive terms, Christophe Pélissier's team-mates have been too lenient, so they have the second worst record in the field, with 34 goals conceded - only the "red light" Guingamp is worse, at 36.

Amiens bet on a 1x4x5x1 tactical draw against PSG leader but is unlikely to maintain this structure on this visit to the Lille field. Bongani Zungu and Moussa Konaté are out for injury, Khaled Adénon is suspended and Iranian Saman Ghoddos is serving in their Asian Cup selection.


The favoritism is all on the side of Lille, emblem that does not want to miss the opportunity to earn points to at least one of the two main pursuers.
