This Saturday, 10th December, will offer us a very interesting game between Lille and Montpellier, at 19:00, UK time. Both teams are playing in the 17th Round of Ligue 1, Lille being a little in pole-position.
I hope for another profitable day, since on Thursday, 8th December, we managed 2/2 green predictions at Braga vs Shakhtar and also 3/3 winning predictions at Zorya vs Manchester United, including the correct score.
