LOSC Lille and Olympique Lyonnais Set to Clash in Ligue 1 Title Race
Lille Aiming to Defend Crown, Lyon Eyeing Return to Glory
The 2021/22 Ligue 1 season is set to be one of the most exciting in recent memory, with last season's champions LOSC Lille and former powerhouse Olympique Lyonnais among the favorites to lift the trophy.
Lille's Title Defense
Lille defied the odds last season, winning their first Ligue 1 title in a decade. The team will be looking to defend their crown this season, and they have a strong squad capable of doing so.
Led by manager Christophe Galtier, Lille boasts a number of talented players, including Renato Sanches, Burak Yilmaz, and Jonathan David. The team has also made some smart signings this summer, including midfielder Xeka from Rennes.
Lyon's Resurgence
Lyon has been one of the most successful clubs in French football history, winning seven Ligue 1 titles in the past two decades. However, the team has struggled in recent seasons, finishing seventh last year.
Lyon has made a number of changes this summer in an effort to return to the top of the table. The club has appointed former Roma manager Peter Bosz as their new coach, and they have also signed several new players, including Xherdan Shaqiri from Liverpool.
Title Race Prediction
The title race in Ligue 1 is likely to be a close one this season. Lille will be the team to beat, but Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain, and Monaco will all be looking to challenge for the trophy.
Here is a prediction for the top four finishers in Ligue 1 this season:
- LOSC Lille
- Paris Saint-Germain
- Olympique Lyonnais
- AS Monaco
