Sevilla – Lille : Preview & Prediction
Separated by a single point in the table, Sevilla and Lille face off at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on the fourth day of Group G of the Champions League. Sevilla are in a positive streak of 5 games between all competitions and in the last home league match against Osasuna they won 2-0 with goals from Diego Carlos and Lucas Ocampos. The French Ligue 1, on the other hand, offered Lille fans a disappointment: the reigning French champions, who have not won in 4 straight games (2 defeats and 2 draws) in all competitions this season, were beaten at the Parco dei Principi from Paris Saint-Germain despite Jonathan David’s opening lead remaining that way until 16 minutes from time. Jocelyn Gourvennec’s team have managed to score just 3 goals in their last 4 games. Julen Lopetegui’s Sevilla have no significant absences when we present this challenge, while Lille will only have to face Sven Botman’s injury.
Sevilla have won their last 4 official home games.
Lille have taken 5 defeats in their last 6 away games. Only success in the league against Strasbourg for 2-1.
Lille have always conceded away goals this season: 8 out of 8 games.
Lille have never won in their last 12 Champions League games.
Taking advantage of the home factor and what on paper is a more compact team, we are focusing on Sevilla also because Lille is no longer the team that made the triumphal ride last season by surprisingly winning the Ligue 1 title and also doing well in Europe.
