Sevilla vs. Lille

A special group in which only Salzburg managed to win a game (twice). The rest are draw kings, ruled by Sevilla, because they have draw in every game so far! But now they need to work hard and Sevilla have the ideal conditions for that - they play in their home stadium, where they last lost six months ago. They are also in a good mood, as they are only a point behind the leaders in La Liga and beat Osasuna 2-0 at the weekend. The goals do not depend on one player, but are spread among several members of the squad. There will be basically a complete squad.

Lille are still struggling as the last French champion. Losing in Paris at the weekend with a goal two minutes from the end, 12th place in Ligue 1, not good. On the other hand, They are not doing well at all away. 8 away games this season and a 1-2-5 score. It's also the complete opposite of Sevilla, with Jonathan David (8 goals) being the only one to score. Burak Yılmaz has scored only 3 goals this season (2x in league, 1x in CL). And that will definitely not be enough. Sevilla will take advantage of the home environment and win.

Lille 0:0 Sevilla (20.10.)
Ball possession - 43% : 57%
Goal attempts - 9:13
Shots on goal - 2:6

Prediction:
Sevilla @ 1.57 (bet365)

I don't know why but I have feeling there will be goal(s) on each side. They have done 0-0 in the first match but I think there will be goals in this one. Papu Gomez is doubtful for Sevilla, but I have my trust in their other strikers too, Eric Lamela, Youssef En-Nesyri or Lucas Ocampos are still good attacking trio for Sevilla (and if Papu Gomez will make it at least for the last 30 mins or so it's another plus). On the other side there is Lille who may be just a shadow of the team that won Ligue 1 and French Supercup, but the quality is undoubtedly there and I still like their attacking duo made of rich experienced Burak Yilmaz and Canadian beast Jonathan David, who is on fire in Ligue 1 lately (scoring against PSG in the 1-2 loss too), but he's waiting for his first goal in the best competition in the world. Maybe today?

Both teams to score @ 2,20 bet365
