Lille will take on Chelsea in the rematch of the Champions League eighth-finals on Wednesday evening. The home side doesn’t want to give up, but a tough task is ahead of them. On the other hand, the visitors want to put the stamp on their ticket for the quarter-finals.
Lille Preview & Team News
Lille enters this match after a 0:0 draw in Ligue 1 against Saint-Etienne. Although they extended their unbeatable run, Les Dogues failed to celebrate for the third time in a row. Their more recent scorelines show that things are going according to plan in the Lille defense. Lille have been miserly, with the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past six games standing at 2. However, the hosts trail two goals in this tie, and they need to put a substantial effort to make a surprise. The Lille boss Jocelyn Gourvennec will be grateful that she doesn’t have to worry about her condition before this game, thanks to a completely healthy group that is available for selection.
Chelsea Preview & Team News
Chelsea comes into this match following a 1:0 Premier League win over Newcastle United in their most recent match. It was their fourth straight win in all competition, which kept them in 3rd place in the Premier League. A run of effective performances by the Chelsea defensive unit has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 3 from their previous six clashes overall. During the same time, their forwards have scored 13. The Blues have a comfortable advantage from the first leg, but they shouldn’t allow any signs of complacency.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Lille continues to be inconsistent, while Chelsea entered the winning streak. Although they had some issues against the Magpies in the latest Premier League round, they should get back home from this trip with a win.
Goals Market Prediction
Both sides have shown a defensive solidity lately, and we shouldn’t expect to see too many goals in this one. These two teams should produce two goals in total, like in their first-leg encounter.
