Liverpool vs Lille Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath | in Champions League Predictions
Liverpool will be looking to maintain their perfect record in the Champions League on Tuesday night when they play host to Ligue 1 outfit Lille at Anfield. The Reds are perched atop the League Phase standings while Les Dogues are in eighth place after six games. Check out our match prediction below!
These two sides have only ever faced off once in the past, and that was back in the 2009-10 Europa League campaign which Liverpool won 3-1 on aggregate. Lille, meanwhile, have only ever won one of their 10 matches against English opposition in the Champions League (W1 D2 L7) but they have lost each of the last six ahead of this one. That sole victory was against Man United way back in November 2005.
Bookmakers have inserted the hosts as massive favourites in this match, but the visitors have already caused a few upsets in this competition and will be eyeing another big scalp in this one. To the key stats!

Liverpool - Lille: Form Analysis
Liverpool have been flawless in this season’s Champions League. With the maximum 18 points to date, they are guaranteed a place in the knockout round but will want to secure a top-eight finish to avoid the playoffs.
The Reds have also been in great form domestically, currently leading the Premier League standings by six points after beating Brentford 2-0 on the road over the weekend.
That result took Arne Slot’s side to three matches unbeaten, while the only defeat they have conceded in their last 28 games was in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg to Tottenham Hotspur.
Liverpool have only conceded one goal in this season’s Champions League!
Meanwhile, after losing their first match in this competition, Lille have flown up the table with four wins and a draw in their last five European matches, leaving them on 13 points. A win here will secure their knockout berth.
During their current unbeaten run, Les Dogues have notched up victories over Real and Atletico Madrid while holding Juventus to a 1-1 draw in Turin back on matchday four of the competition.
Across all competitions, the visitors are now unbeaten in 21 matches, while their last defeat on the road was their opening-round loss to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League back in September.

Liverpool & Lille Squad Analysis
After coming on to score the equaliser against Nottingham Forest last week, Diogo Jota suffered yet another injury setback. The Portuguese international missed the victory over the weekend against the Bees and is a major doubt for this match.
The only other player that will not be available for the Reds this week is Joe Gomez, who is suffering from a hamstring issue and is not expected to return to action in the foreseeable future.
Cody Gakpo has scored in seven of his last eight home games for Liverpool!
The visitors are missing several key players at present, including Samuel Umtiti (knee), Ethan Mbappe (thigh) and Edon Zhegrova (muscle), all of whom are sidelined until the end of this month.
Attacker Matias Fernandez-Pardo and defender Tiago Santos are both ruled out with cruciate ligament injuries, while midfielder Nabil Bentaleb is out potentially for the rest of the season due to illness.
