If Lille had some problems at the beginning of the season, then by November, the hosts were a completely different team. At the moment, Bruno Genesio’s team has not lost for eight matches in a row.
This magnificent streak also included two victories in the Champions League. Although some might have attributed the home success against Real Madrid to luck, beating Atletico on the road was not accidental.
Lille’s squad is now hitting peak form, particularly evident in their improved defensive structure. In their last eight matches, the Mastiffs have conceded only three goals.
However, Lille have been dealing with an injury crisis but Bruno Genesio has managed to find alternatives in the lineup. Tiago Santos and Remy Cabella are sidelined for the match against Juventus, and Thomas Meunier and Osame Sahraoui are likely to replace them.
After the brilliant matches against PSV and Leipzig, it seemed that Juventus would handle Stuttgart with ease. However, the Old Lady delivered one of their poorest displays of the season and ultimately lost in injury time.
Throughout the match, Juventus managed to create only 0.25 xG – marking their worst attacking output of the season. In contrast, Stuttgart created plenty of opportunities in the penalty area, which led to their victory.
Until recently, Juventus’s strongest asset was their defence, but the four goals conceded against Inter in a 4-4 draw raised concerns. In addition, Juve have not kept a single clean sheet in their last three Champions League outings
Despite Mattia Perin’s heroics in goal, Michele Di Gregorio, who served a suspension, will return to the starting lineup. Bremer, Nico Gonzalez and Douglas Luiz are still sidelined. Danilo, who received two yellow cards and was sent off in the match against Stuttgart, is suspended for the clash with Lille.
Bet hereLille have been doing well recently and have not lost since September 17. In the previous eight official matches, the French side grabbed five victories. In 2024, they lost only twice on home soil, which is an excellent result.
In addition to Real Madrid, the Mastiffs beat Fenerbahce and Slavia at home. However, we think they will focus more on defence and play pragmatically against Juventus.
Juventus, on the other hand, play better on the road than at home this season and have been unbeaten in six away matches. We expect an intense, hard-fought encounter, with both teams likely content to share the spoils. Our prediction for this clash is a draw.
In the last match against Udinese, Juve kept a clean sheet. However, their opponents barely created any serious chances in the offensive, making it easy for Juve’s defence to effectively thwart their attacks.
Lille, meanwhile, will present a different challenge than Udinese. In recent matches against Parma and Inter, Juve conceded six goals, a weakness that Lille will be keen to exploit.
Lille have been consistent at home this season, scoring in all eight of their matches across various competitions. We think that the hosts will certainly get chances and net at least once.
Juve, on the other hand, are more attack-oriented under Thiago Motta, and therefore, our second pick for this match is both teams to score.
