Command Analysis
Liverpool
EnglandCurrent form
Liverpool are having a flawless run in the current Champions League. The Reds have not lost a single point in six rounds and are leading the standings with a three-point lead over Barcelona. They only need to score one point to guarantee a spot in the 1/8 finals. In addition to the upcoming game with Lille, the Merseysiders will also have an away match against PSV in the final round. The team will undoubtedly try to clear up all the questions today.
Interestingly, in the current Champions League draw, Liverpool has beaten two teams from Serie A (Bologna and Milan), Bundesliga (Leipzig and Bayer) and La Liga (Real Madrid and Girona) in turn. Next up is a representative of the French Ligue 1. It should be noted that the Merseysiders have conceded only one goal in the Champions League. Only Inter can boast of such an achievement.
In the Premier League, Arne Sloth men had a not-so-pleasant run of two draws in a row with Manchester United (2:2) and Nottingham Forest (1:1). In the last round, they managed to snatch a difficult victory over Brentford with a score of 2:0. Nunez scored a brace at the very end of that game. With 50 points, the Reds are leading the standings, six points ahead of Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, and they still have a game in hand. It should be noted that the team has suffered only one defeat at Anfield in the Premier League.

Gomez will not play today due to injury. Jota appearance on the field is in doubt.

Lille
FranceCurrent form
Lille did not have the best start to the season, both in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League. However, after losing to Sporting in the Champions League on September 17, the Great Danes have not lost anywhere else. In the main European club football tournament, Bruno Genesio team became a threat to the authorities - victories over Real Madrid (1:0) and Atletico (3:1), a draw with Juventus (1:1). In the last game before the break, Lille beat Sturm on its home field (3:2) and is in eighth place with 13 points on the eve of the start of the seventh round.
The Great Danes have a chance to finish in the top 8. In addition to the upcoming matches with Liverpool, they will also have a final match on their home field with Feyenoord. It should be noted that the team only needs to score one point in these two matches to secure a place in the playoffs, but the bet is clearly on finishing in the top 8.
In Ligue 1, Lille has 32 points and is third in the table. The gap to second-placed Marseille is five points, but behind them there is a whole group of pursuers in the form of Monaco, Lyon and Nice, from whom there is no significant gap. In the last round of the national championship, the Great Danes beat Nice on their home field with a score of 2:1.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Zhegrova, Fernandez-Pardo, I. Mbappe and Santos will not help their team today.
Interesting trends for betting

- In Lille last 20 away matches in the Champions League, there has only been one draw
- Lille have not won in the first half in their previous three matches
- Lille have not lost due to fouls in four of their last five matches

1.75Tip and bets
Lille has become one of the main discoveries of the current Champions League, but we do not think that the French will be able to score points today and continue their unbeaten streak. Still, there is a difference in class, plus it is not so easy to play at Anfield, we can recall how Bayer has already failed here, and Real Madrid could not resist. Liverpool has won all three home victories in this Champions League with an advantage of at least two goals and did not concede a single one. We do not expect such an impressive streak to be interrupted today.
Our prediction is Liverpool to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.83
Bet on total
In six rounds of the Champions League, Liverpool have conceded only one goal. At home, the Merseysiders have won three victories with a clean sheet. There is a high probability that there will be no exchange of goals in this meeting. It is worth paying attention to this bet, especially considering the bookmakers' odds.
Second bet - both will not score with odds of 2.00
Bet on the exact difference in the score
Liverpool have won two of their three home games in the Champions League with a 2-0 score. We expect that this time, too, Arne Sloth men will take a comfortable two-goal lead with their class.
Prediction: Liverpool win by two goals with odds of 4.10
