Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Lille vs Chelsea
Lille have a very tough task in the second leg of the ⅛ round Champions League matchup with Chelsea. In fact, the damage was done in the first leg with Les Dogues having a relatively fine performance with 15 goal attempts, seven more than their hosts.
Nonetheless, the reigning French champions are undefeated in Ligue 1 in their last five outings. Obviously, coach Jocelyn Gourvenenec’s team didn’t start well winning one of their first eight matches. Hence Les Dogues found it hard to perform under the pressure of being the champions.
Chelsea on the other hand were off to a flying start at the beginning of this campaign. To illustrate, the Blues led the Premier League at one point and looked like a serious contender to finish to win the league and retain their Champions League crown.
However, when the schedule started to be hectic, Thomas Tuchel’s men lost momentum and dropped points both in the Champions League and the Premier League. As a result, Chelsea finished second in their CL group and are now 13 points behind Manchester City in the PL.
Lille vs Chelsea Prediction
Lille have their pride to play for as the French champions are the underdogs by odds of 13.40 to qualify. Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel will have a relaxed approach and play with minimum effort without damaging their 2-0 lead from the first leg.
To conclude, we predict Chelsea to win this match without putting off a fight by Lille that would result in a draw. In addition, we will combine that double chance bet with under 3.5 total goals.
Safe Bet
Chelsea under Tuchel play very offensive football in all matches they play. As a result, the Blues scored first in their last six matches in all competitions. With odds of 1.62 for Chelsea to score first, we will back this bet to be our safe bet.
Quick Rich
There is a 90% chance according to the statistics that Chelsea will win this match. Moreover, the numbers show that the number of goals at the Pierre-Mauroy have a great chance to be between 1-3. As a result, the bet Chelsea win combined with 1-3 goals has odds of 3.60 and we consider it to be a quick profit.
Lille vs Chelsea First Goalscorer
Hakim Zayech looks very hot recently scoring three times in the last five matches. Despite his weak contribution in terms of goals with five in all competitions, the Morrocan is a very important player in Chelsea and has great scoring abilities. We predict for him to be the first goalscorer on Wednesday.
