Matchday 3 of the Champions League brings us a clash between French Ligue 1 side, Lille, and their Spanish La Liga counterparts, Sevilla, at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy with Lille needing a result to keep in touch with the teams above them in Group G.
Lille have managed to pick up just one point from their opening two games in the group stage which was thanks to a 0-0 draw at home with Wolfsburg on the opening day but the French outfit then slipped to a 2-1 loss away from home at Salzburg on Matchday 2.
On the domestic front, Lille have won three of their last four matches in Ligue 1 but at Champions League level, the bigger picture shows that Lille have failed to win any of their last 11 ties overall.
Onto Sevilla, and the Spanish visitors have made a better fist of things in Group G despite still waiting for their first win in the group stage following draws with Salzburg and Wolfsburg, both being 1-1 stalemates.
The bigger picture though paints a more promising outlook for Sevilla than that of their hosts, Lille, as the visitors have lost just two of their last 11 Champions League ties overall, both defeats being inflicted upon them on home soil at their Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
Results away from home have also been encouraging as Sevilla are unbeaten in each of their last eight ties on their travels which includes wins at Manchester United, Krasnodar and Rennes.
The Betting Verdict
Of the two clubs, Sevilla look to be the more consistent outfit and the visitors stand a decent chance of adding to their points tally here.
