Carried by Gabriel Gudmundsson this Saturday, author of his only goal against FC Nantes, LOSC can rely on the effectiveness of its defenders against the cages.
When LOSC is in trouble, and its most offensive players are struggling to swing a match in its direction, it is always possible to count on the efficiency of Lille defenders. The latter, authors of the last three goals scored by the Dogues, proved decisive against the cages, like Bafodé Diakité (Marseille), Ismaily (Rouen) and Gabriel Gudmundsson (Nantes). This weekend again, it was the last named who opened his counter this season and the score on the pitch of the Decathlon Arena – Stade Pierre Mauroy.
Thanks to this ultimate achievement, the latest to date but the very first in 2025, the number of goals scored by LOSC defenders this season in Ligue 1 has reached the milestone of six, the highest total. No other team actually does better in football's elite. This must be a good sign, since the Lille team has never lost in Ligue 1 when one of its defensive protégés managed to shake the net.
