Hello! Champions League continues. A lot of interesting things happened yesterday, which once again confirms that betting on such matches is better only in live. However, the forecasts have not been canceled, and today I will try to make out the match with the participation of another London team. In the first round, these teams did not score a single goal, whether they will be able to do it today.
In the last round, Lille was defeated in the away match by Ajax with a score of 3-0. At the same time, the French club did not look so helpless. The “dogs” had good moments at the gates of Ajax, but were unlucky in the final stages of the attack. In the French League 1, Lille is in fourth place, 4 points behind the leader - PSG and judging by the eight matches held, this is absolutely a home team. In away games, the team scored only two points out of 12 possible. Moreover, if a draw with Rennais can still be justified by a strong opponent, then here is a draw with Nice, which is now not in the best shape beyond any excuses. However, in the “native walls” Lille is a completely different team, the team won all 4 home matches (including the match with Angers, who is in second place, and with Nantes, which is in third place).
Last season, the French had much to attack through Pepe, who is now in the Arsenal, but in the new season, Lille found a replacement for him and received a new scorer - Victor Osimen, who has already scored six goals in League 1 and is currently the league's top scorer.
Chelsea in the last round was defeated by Valencia with a score of 0-1, with the blue at the end of the match had a chance to equalize, but Ross Barkley could not score a penalty. In addition to the 11-meter Chelsea created a lot of dangerous moments at the gates of Valencia, but could not realize them. In the Premier League, the team’s affairs are not going well, both matches with top clubs have been lost, there is still no order in defense, the club helps out the attack. Chelsea played three away matches and conceded a total of eight goals in them: two from Norwich and Wolves and 4 from Manchester United. The number of goals scored was the same: 5 wolves and three Norwich. In the attack, Abraham and Mount are quite effective, the latter by the way avoided serious injury in the match with Valencia.
So, both teams are successful in attack, Chelsea have problems in defense, but Lampard probably worked on this aspect in training. Both teams need to return to the playoffs, so I think it's worth waiting for goals today. Total Over 2.5 with 1.84 is a good option in this match.
Good Luck!
