Lille – third
Conceded 0.59 goals per game
Lille have needed to have a sturdy defence this season because their strikeforce has been far from potent. Going forward, Rene Girard’s men have averaged just 1.12 goals per game in Ligue 1, making them the division’s joint-eighth lowest scorers. However, keeping 21 clean sheets in 34 games, thanks to frequent standout displays from Simon Kjaer, has seen the 2011 winners establish themselves in the top three and put them well on course for a place in next season’s Champions League.
