LOSC Lille vs Troyes Predictions and Betting Tips
LOSC Lille and Troyes will face off at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France on Sunday 8 January.
The hosts enter the weekend unbeaten in eight games in all competitions and will be looking to keep up the pace.
Lille were denied a fifth spin win on Monday as they were held 1-1 by Reims Stadium. However, they are unbeaten in eight games in all competitions which has seen them rise to seventh in the Ligue 1 table.
Lille have now turned their sights to the Coupe de France, where they will look to come out of last season’s round of 16 better and claim a seventh title.
Meanwhile, Troyes returned to winning ways in their first outing of the new year, edging Strasbourg 3-2 last Monday.
Prior to that, they were on an eight-game losing streak, claiming five draws and losing three since September. Manager Patrick Kisnorbo will hope Monday’s result can serve as a springboard for a great run as Troyes look to kick off their cup run with a bang.
