Nice vs Lille: Over 7.5 Total Corners (-370)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As Nice prepares to host Lille on September 20, the stage is set for a match that promises plenty of action, which is precisely why the “Over 7.5 corners” bet feels enticing. Nice has struggled lately, mustering only 0.2 goals per game while allowing opponents an average of 1 goal. Their attacking play, averaging over 14 shots per match, indicates they’re pushing forward and will likely generate corner opportunities, even if the goals are scarce. Meanwhile, Lille is in a solid run, scoring an average of 1.8 goals in their last five away games and consistently finding ways to pressure defenses. With both teams inclined to push for corners—Nice averaging 1.6 and Lille 1.6 in their last outings—expect a flurry of corner kicks. Given recent trends and the attacking intent on both sides, the “Over 7.5 corners” line appears to be a compelling play.

Nice vs Lille: Under 3.5 Total Goals (-303)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

As Nice prepares to host Lille, the expectation for a low-scoring affair seems justified. Nice has struggled to find the back of the net lately, averaging a mere 0.2 goals in their last five matches, with an alarming xG of 0. This lack of offensive production has left them with just two draws and three losses in that span. On the other hand, Lille has shown more scoring threat with an average of 1.4 goals, but their recent away matches suggest a tendency towards stronger defensive performances. Their last five games have seen them concede just 0.8 goals, reinforcing the notion that they can stifle Nice's attack. Given Nice's dire scoring form and Lille's ability to control games, betting on under 3.5 total goals feels like a smart move. The stage is set for a tightly contested match, potentially with very few goals and plenty of defensive grit.
