Lille
Liverpool are deservedly at the top of the Champions League standings.
They have been flawless so far, winning all six matches and conceding just one goal, which came against AC Milan.
Today, they face a solid Lille side, unbeaten in their last five matches and having accumulated 13 points. Lille’s only loss in the competition came in an away game against Sporting Lisbon, where they failed to find the net in a 2–0 defeat.
What we say
Liverpool to Win
Playing at Anfield presents significant challenges for Lille. While they have performed well in the Champions League so far, they have occasionally struggled offensively, appearing stagnant at times, as seen in their match against Auxerre in the French league. Additionally, their defense has shown vulnerabilities, conceding 7 goals in 6 Champions League matches.
These defensive frailties are further compounded by the absence of three key players: Bentaleb, Umtiti, and Zhegrova. With these gaps in Lille's lineup, Liverpool are well-positioned to exploit their weaknesses and capitalize on the defensive lapses.
