Lille is coming into this match with no recent trend to the over in their matches. They have gone under 2.5 goals in their last 5 straight matches, but they have been playing a lot of these matches away from home and have still seen both teams score in 2 of their last 3 matches. When playing at home, this trend has been very different as they have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches there and have seen both teams score in all 3 matches. Their attack has also been much better at home as they have scored at least 3 goals themselves in 2 of their last 3 matches there. They are going up against a Nice side that has been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 10 of their last 12 matches. Their attack has been on fire recently as they have scored 8 goals in their last 3 matches, scoring at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 5 matches as well, but their defense has not been good as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. When playing away from home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches. Their attack has been good in these matches as they have scored 8 goals in their last 4 away matches, but their defense has also allowed at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 6 away matches as well. Lille is currently sitting 1 point behind Nice in the table so they are not going to sit back in this match as it is a great chance for them to jump Nice in the table. Nice has been conceding a lot of goals away from home recently as well so Lille will be pushing their attack here and will find the net at home. Nice also has a very potent attack that has been scoring goals though and Lille has not been keeping many clean sheets either. The last 2 meetings between these two both went over 3.5 goals and they have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight meetings in Lille as well. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
