Predictions Lille vs Juventus

Lille are enjoying every minute of their Champions League campaign and their fans will have been counting down the days until Juventus’ visit to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

The French team was barely mentioned in the general preview of the 2024/25 tournament. They qualified by finishing fourth in Ligue 1 last season and no one singled them out as particularly notable competitors.

Yet Lille has made a bigger impact than most other countries so far. They did not give a particularly good impression of themselves on the first day of play and lost 2-0 against Sporting CP.

But Bruno Genesio’s side recovered to beat Real Madrid in their subsequent European outing as they triumphed 1-0 early last month.

They then followed that up with another Spanish conquest, coming from behind to beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 away from home last time out.

Lille fell behind in that match to an early goal from Julian Alvarez, and most expected Atletico to cruise to victory. Instead, Lille remained calm and turned the game on its head in the second half.

Considering their performances so far, Juventus should not take Genesio’s accusations lightly. The Stade Pierre-Mauroy will be in motion long before kick-off on Tuesday and Juve will have to earn the right to play.

Genesio deserves a lot of credit for the work he has done so far. The former head coach of Lyon and Rennes, who was appointed in the summer after Paulo Fonseca left for AC Milan, first had to guide Lille through the qualifying rounds.

There were a few early setbacks in Ligue 1, as Paris Saint-Germain and Saint-Etienne both won the Dogsbut Lille have not lost a domestic encounter since mid-September.

All that bodes well for the visit of Juventus. Thiago Motta and his coaching staff will undoubtedly have carefully studied Lille’s victories over Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Juve will not want to make the same mistakes as the La Liga duo.

Thiago Motta has only lost one match in his current role and that was a 1-0 defeat to Stuttgart on matchday three. Juve previously defeated PSV and RB Leipzig and they will try to win again on Tuesday evening.

Betting tips for Lille vs Juventus

Can Lille gain the upper hand over another European giant when Juventus comes to town?

To draw

Thiago Motta has wasted little time in putting his own stamp on Juventus.

He inherited a cautious, reactive side from Max Allegri and has transformed it into one that dominates possession, applies pressure and takes the initiative where possible.

However, the former Italy international did not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Juventus is still difficult to play against. They conceded just seven goals in Serie A, the lowest total in the competition.

Turning draws into wins is the next step. Juventus made six appearances in eleven Serie A matches.

Lille have also had more than their fair share of ties of late, with three of their last six Ligue 1 matches ending at the same scoreline.

A point apiece wouldn’t be a bad result for either team.

Pick a draw at 11/5 with SBK

Less than 2.5 goals

Juventus has not been as strong defensively in Europe as at home.

Not only has their backline been breached in all three Champions League games so far, they have also conceded more expected goals than all but five teams: Borussia Dortmund, Red Star Belgrade, Young Boys, Dinamo Zagreb and Slovan Bratislava.

Thiago Motta would like to change that, starting with this trip to Lille. The Juve boss will instruct his team to initially focus on keeping things tight and building their way into the game.

That doesn’t mean the Bianconeri will sit back and cede possession, but they will look to keep control of the ball and take the sting out of the atmosphere.

Lille won’t be keen either, so goals could be costly in this match.

Edon Zhegrova can score at any time

There is no doubt that Dusan Vlahovic is Juventus’ main goal threat and Jonathan David is Lille’s danger man.

But at odds of 9/2, it’s hard to avoid the temptation to back Edon Zhegrova in the goalscoring market.

Zhegrova is running an excellent campaign. The winger has scored seven goals in 15 games so far, including strikes against Fenerbahce, Slavia Prague and Atletico Madrid in the continental competition.

The Kosovo international is showing signs of being more decisive with his end product at the top of the pitch.

That’s good news for Lille and potentially bad news for Juventus as these two teams prepare to do battle on matchday four.
