Chelsea vs Lille Prediction & Betting tips
Chelsea hopes to qualify for the eighth finals of the Champions League on Tuesday evening at London’s own Stamford Bridge. Opponent is Lille, who has already been eliminated, who wants to say goodbye to the European champion ball with his head held high.
Chelsea:
For Chelsea the assignment is clear on Tuesday evening. With a win over Lille, the English will join the last sixteen teams of the Champions League anyway. Even a group win is in that case still possible for the current number three in group H, if the match between Ajax and Valencia ends in a draw. In a draw, the English must hope for an Amsterdam victory. In a defeat, The Blues finish in third place, which would mean that the Champions League fairy tale of coach Frank Lampard’s men would be over.
Chelsea therefore has excellent papers to win European wintering on Tuesday evening, but the club from London cannot count itself as rich. With a fourth place in the Premier League, the team performs beyond expectations, but is only one win in the last five official games. Last weekend, Everton was struggling, 3-1, too strong for the Lampard team, which proved particularly vulnerable in the rear. The English managed to keep the zero in only four of their 24 official games of the season. However, Lampard can be satisfied with the scoring ability of his team, as Chelsea scores very easily this season based on young talents such as Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic.
Lille:
Lille will play its last European match of this season on Tuesday evening. With only one point, the French have no chance at the bottom in Group H, so even the consolation prize in the form of a third place and therefore a place in the knockout phase of the Europa League is now out of reach.
Lille therefore knows that even with a stunt on Stamford Bridge it is eliminated anyway. However, I do not expect the visitors to roll out the red carpet on Tuesday evening. After all, the Champions League is the highest stage for club teams, and is therefore the ideal moment to put yourself in the window as a player. One of the players that is undoubtedly closely monitored is attacker Victor Osimhen. The young Nigerian was twice certain in this edition of the Champions League, and also scores in his debut season in the Ligue 1 on the running line. Partly thanks to his scoring drive, Lille managed to win her last three league matches, 1-0, so that Les Dogues have now worked their way up to third place behind Olympique Marseille and leader Paris Saint-Germain. The Northern French are therefore full of confidence, and will do everything they can on Tuesday evening to say goodbye to the European ball of millions with their heads held high.
