The champion’s team in good form, LOSC has not lost in Ligue 1 since February 1 and seems determined to stay in 3rd place until the end of the season. The last three matches, against OM (1-2), Lens (3-0) and Toulouse (0-4) ended in convincing victories. Opposite, OGC Nice is warned, arriving on tiptoe after a catastrophic series in the championship (1 victory in 10 matches).
At what time and on which TV channel to watch Lille – Nice
The match between LOSC and the Aiglons will be broadcast on Ligue 1+, on Saturday April 18, 2026, live for subscribers, at 9:05 p.m.
Lille wants to lose its pursuers
Beaten in the first leg on the Côte d’Azur (2-0 thanks to a penalty from Sofiane Diop (29th) and a goal from Isak Jansson), LOSC is wary of OGC, a real injured beast.
On Pierre Mauroy’s pitch, Lille will try to move away to 3rd place by stringing together a 5th consecutive victory (Rennes, Marseille, Lens and Toulouse have just lost against LOSC).
Nice in free kick
The Niçois are stagnating in 15th place and have only 4 points more than AJ Auxerre, play-offs. Against Bruno Génésio’s men, we will have to do better than against PSG (0-4), Rennes (0-4) Strasbourg (3-1) and Le Havre (1-1) where victory eluded them. To make matters worse, Boudaoui and Sanson are suspended. One of the reasons to believe in it for the Aiglons lies in a statistic: in 7 matches against Lille, they have only lost once (3 wins and 3 draws).
The probable lineups for Lille-Nice
- Lille (4-2-3-1) : Özer – Meunier, Alexsandro, Ngoy, Perraud – André, Bentaleb – Fernandez-Pardo, Haraldsson, Félix Correia – Giroud.
- Nice (3-5-2 or 4-2-3-1): Diouf – Peprah Oppong, Mendy, Bard – Clauss, Boudaoui, Vanhoutte (or Abdul Samed), Sanson, Abdi – Diop, Wahi (or Cho).
