Lille

Before the start of the group stage, Lille’s team was a big outsider in Group G, and no one expected them to win first place besides Salzburg, Seville, and Wolfsburg. However, that also happened, and Lille managed to win eleven points in six played matches, with a modest goal difference of seven goals scored and four goals conceded. After very poor results in the first three rounds, they managed to beat Sevilla with 2: 1, Salzburg with 1: 0, and Wolfsburg with 3: 1, and thus showed that they are not a team that can be easily underestimated.

Lille is in the sixth position on the table in the domestic championship and is seven points behind the second-placed Marseille, so the dreams of being placed in the Champions League next season are still “alive”. By the way, the French team has suffered only two defeats at home in all competitions this season, so the home field will certainly be a great advantage for Lille’s team in tomorrow’s match.

Chelsea

Chelsea finished the competition in the group stage in second place with thirteen points won, achieving four wins, one draw and one defeat, with thirteen goals scored and only four goals conceded. They played three matches at Stamford Bridge Stadium and recorded all three victories, and, interestingly, they did not concede a goal in those three matches. They defeated Zenit with 1: 0, Malmo with 4: 0 and Juventus with 4: 0, and thus showed that they are an extremely powerful team at home.

With a 2-0 victory against Lille in the first match at home, they continued the series of good results at Stamford Bridge, and after that match, the Chelsea players achieved as many as four triumphs in the next five matches. In the domestic championship, they are in third place on the table and achieve very good results, having in mind that they are in big financial problems, but we will write about that later. We can say that the Chelsea players are in a great goal-scoring rhythm, considering that the team from London has scored as many as eleven goals in the previous four games.

Lille vs. Chelsea Prediction, Tips & Odds

Chelsea defeated Lille 2-0 in London, but we believe that the French team should have scored at least one goal in that match, given the fact that they played very offensively throughout the match (fifteen shots on Chelsea goal). In the meantime, due to the situation in Ukraine, all the assets of the English team have been temporarily suspended, so Chelsea is in big financial trouble. Although coach Tuchel has repeatedly stated that his team will fight to achieve the highest goals despite the problems they are in, we are sure that this situation has affected the morale of the team.

Chelsea defeated Newcastle 1-0 on Sunday with a lot of difficulties, so the beginning of the crisis is evident. Although the French team is two goals behind, we are sure that they will not give up easily, and that the home field will play a very important role tomorrow. Lille is playing very well at home throughout the season, and having in mind that they have to “chase” the deficit of two goals, we expect that they will play extremely offensively tomorrow. We believe that Chelsea will “retaliate” with the same measure, and since we expect a very open match, betting on goals seems like a logical choice.
