In my opinion Lille have really good chances to avoid loss in 90 minutes in today's match up.

First of all I understand why odds slashed so much on hosts. Lille today will play without some key players, but their squad have good depth and their line up looks very solid in my eyes:

Goalkeeper-Grbic (17 matches in Ligue 1), defenders-Celik (15 matches), Botman (12 matches), Fonte (19 matches) and Reinildo (15 matches). Midfielders-Pied (0 matches), Andre (18 matches) , Sanches (11 matches) and Gomes (11 matches), strikers-Yazici (11 matches) and Bamba (13 matches). What is the most important-we should see Benjamin Andre, he is one of the best player in Ligue 1.

Lille for sure have huge motivation to make good result in today's match because this is derby game, very important for the community and supporters. Lille coach said: "It's a goal for us, it's a great competition. We are in three competitions, winning a trophy is never neutral. It’s always difficult. We know it will be a complicated match but the Coupe de France is close to our hearts, and to the hearts of the players, we want to perform. You never know which game you are going to win, you have to play them all to win them."

In overall Lille have superb stats in derby matches against Lens, since April 2004 both teams played each other in all competitions 20 matches and Lille lost only 3 times! Lens won 1:0 at this stadium against Lille in curent league season, but that wasn't really deserved result as Lens had 0.58 expected goals scored, Lille 1.07. For sure guests have huge motivation to make revenge on their big opponents.

For me is very hard to see Lens as a so big favorite here, since end of November they played 7 matches in all competitions and they were able to achieve win only against amateur club Stade Poitevin. They won 1:0 on away. For sure Lens not coming full of confidence here.

On the other hand Lille didn't lost in last 11 matches in a row! They didn't lost since October when they lost against Paris Saint Germain, the strongest team in whole league. Confidence must be sky high.

Pressure is on Lens because they plays front of home crowd and expectations are big, especially when Lille is without couple of important players. Still I see excellent chances for guests here. They are extremely underrated in this lines.

在我看来，里尔在今天的比赛中很有可能在 90 分钟内避免输球。

首先，我明白为什么主队的指数大幅下降。里尔今天将缺少一些关键球员的情况下比赛，但他们的阵容深度很好，在我看来他们的阵容非常稳固：

守门员-格比奇（17 场法甲）、后卫-切利克（15 场）、博特曼（12 场）、丰特（19 场）和雷尼尔多（15 场）。中场-皮耶德（0场）、安德烈（18场）、桑切斯（11场）和戈麦斯（11场）、前锋-亚齐奇（11场）和班巴（13场）。最重要的是——我们应该看到本杰明安德烈，他是法甲最好的球员之一。

里尔肯定有很大的动力在今天的比赛中取得好成绩，因为这是一场德比比赛，对社区和球迷来说非常重要。里尔主帅说：“法国杯对我们来说是一个目标，这是伟大的比赛。我们参加了三场比赛，赢得奖杯从来都不会轻松，总是很困难。我们知道这将是一场艰难的比赛，但法国杯离我们很近”，而且在球员的心中，我们想要走下去。你永远不知道自己会赢得哪场比赛，你必须一场一场的来才能赢得比赛。”

总的来说，里尔在对阵朗斯的德比战中有着出色的成绩，自2004年4月以来，两队在各项赛事中交手20场，里尔仅输了3场！在本赛季的联赛中，朗斯在这座球场以 1:0 战胜里尔，但这并不是真正应得的结果，因为朗斯的预期进球为 0.58，里尔 1.07。可以肯定的是，客队有很大的动力实现复仇。

对我来说，很难将朗斯视为本场的热门，自 11 月底以来，他们在所有比赛中进行了 7 场比赛，他们只能在对阵业余俱乐部 Stade Poitevin 的比赛中取得胜利，他们在客场以 1:0 获胜。本场朗斯不会充满信心。

另一方面，里尔在最近11场比赛中没有输球！自10月输给联赛最强球队巴黎圣日耳曼以来，他们就没有输过。信心很足。

朗斯承受着压力，因为他们在主场观众面前期望值很高，尤其是当里尔缺少了几个重要球员的时候。我仍然认为里尔有很好的机会。他们被严重低估了。预测里尔不败。
