Sevilla looking for a first win after three draws

Three draws in a row made Sevilla undefeated in the Champions League this season. Yet they are four points behind leaders Salzburg in Group G. Overall, the Rojoblancos have just one defeat this season in all competitions. Surely, Unai Emre’s team’s strength is their defense conceding 0.8 goals per game. Also, they are undefeated in their last seven home games.

On top of that, Sevilla lost one of their last four home games in the UCL since last season. On the offensive end, Emre’s team have an average of 2.75 goals per game at home this season. During their last game, Sevilla came back from Lille with a point. In fact, Los Hispalenses were the better side in the match with 57% possession and six shots on target. 

Lille need to be more efficient upfront

The French champions Lille are not having the best of their seasons. With two draws and one defeat in the UCL, Les Dogues are five points off the pace in Group G. Hence they need a win in Sevilla to overtake their opponents in second place. Moreover, Gourvennec’s team are in 11th place in Ligue 1 and have no chance of defending their title.

Notably, Lille’s problem is not in their defense as they conceded under one goal per game in the last ten. Obviously, just one goal scored in the three UCL matches shows how inefficient Lille are in front of the goal. Moreover, the fact that Gouvernnec’s team are not able to create enough chances is a real problem for the coach to solve.

Sevilla vs Lille Prediction

This will be the fifth h2h meeting between Sevilla and Lille. As it stands, Lille have two wins, Sevilla one and one match finished in a draw. Notably, all four matches saw both teams not score. 

Certainly, both of these teams will want to finish in the top two in this group. Hence, they have to play an attacking style in order to create as many chances as possible. Furthermore looking at the market’s statistics, bookies expect a low-scoring game with just a 30% of chance for over 2.5 goals.

In addition, there is only a 50% chance for BTTS to happen. As a result, we think Sevilla are closer to registering their first win. Hence, we will back a double chance and total goals scored combo. With a 60% chance of over 1.5 goals being scored, we will back that option.
