Lille in pole position on matchday six
Group G has been by far the most entertaining in the Champions League this time around and every team has a chance of qualifying going into the final matchday. RB Salzburg welcome Sevilla while Lille travel to Wolfsburg as the most well placed side in the foursome. Les Dogues remarkably defied the odds to win the Ligue 1 title last term and have exceeded expectations in this competition despite sitting 12th in the French top-flight. It is a false position when you look at their underlying process that paints a side who should still be brushing shoulders with Paris Saint-Germain towards the top end.
Background
The injection of money into the club should Lille qualify for the knockout stages would be hugely significant especially after they missed out on making the competition in the curtailed 2019/20 campaign. Wolfsburg are trending as a run of the mill mid table side in the Bundesliga this term and are currently rock bottom of the group with a goal difference of -3. Therefore, which does not suit them, Wolfsburg need to be the most attacking team in the group which could leave spaces in behind for Lille.
In transition the visitors could really hurt Wolfsburg, they have pace, power, skill and tonnes of intensity in the likes of Jonathan Bamba, Jonathan Ikone, Renato Sanches and Jonathan David. Lille are outsiders with the bookmakers but they are in a much more comfortable predicament going into the matchup.
Goals?
It depends when the first goal is, whether this one will open us or not. Lille were outstanding defensively last season and could shut up shop effectively.
- Wolfsburg have scored in six of ten.
- Wolfsburg have conceded in eight of ten.
- Wolfsburg have seen both teams score in four of ten.
- Wolfsburg have seen over 2.5 goals in five of ten.
- Lille have scored in nine of ten.
- Lille have conceded in eight of ten.
- Lille have seen both teams score in eight of ten.
- Lille have seen over 2.5 goals in five of ten.
Lille are a nice price given the state of play in the group. The game situation could fall in their favour here and they have the players to profit on that.
