Command Analysis
Lille
FranceCurrent form
Before the start of the league stage, Lille was not considered a clear contender for a ticket to the 1/8 finals, inferior in the selection of players to the main favorites. At the same time, the roster quite allowed the Great Danes to set themselves the task of fighting for a place in the top 24, Bruno Genesio team had enough experience and skill for such a task, but the Great Danes started with a defeat, losing 0:2 at home to Sporting.
However, already in the second round, Lille demonstrated that it is quite capable of solving its problems, sensationally beating Real Madrid 1:0 on its home field. Overall, the league stage was quite successful - in seven rounds, the Great Danes scored 13 points and with them currently occupy 12th place in the table, having already guaranteed themselves a playoff, but at the same time there is a chance to fight for a place in the top eight - Bayer is ahead only due to additional indicators.
In the French championship, Lille has not had much success yet – the bet was clearly on a place in the top three, but so far it has not been able to rise above the fifth line. At the same time, there is a modest gap of two points from third-placed Monaco, with Nice one point ahead. The situation could have been more comfortable, but in the last round, Lille lost to Strasbourg with a score of 1:2, suffering their third defeat of the season.

Feyenoord
NetherlandsCurrent form
Feyenoord, like their opponents today, were not among the clear contenders for a place in the top eight before the start of the league stage, but had the opportunity to set themselves the task of getting into the playoffs. Brian Priske team started with a crushing 0:4 defeat to Bayer on their home field, demonstrating that there is no easy life to be expected in the fight for the top 24.

The most notable of these was the 3-0 win over Bayern in the final round, which allowed them to rise to 11th place in the table. The Rotterdam team is only behind eighth-placed Bayer due to additional indicators and has a chance to advance directly to the 1/8 finals.

2.55Tip and bets
Lille only needs a win today to have a chance to get into the top eight and start the playoffs from the 1/8 finals. At the same time, a defeat will not change anything fundamentally for the Great Danes, they will not fly out of the playoff zone - the bet will most likely be made on the attack and the hosts will play as aggressively as possible in front. At the same time, Feyenoord is in exactly the same situation and will also clearly take a risk, the Rotterdam team scores regularly and plays attacking football, it makes sense to count on a goal extravaganza in such a match.
We believe that the match will be productive. Betting Tip - total over 2.5 goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the outcome
Lille have looked, to put it mildly, unconvincing in their last two matches, losing to both Liverpool in the Champions League and Strasbourg in the championship. It is obvious that the Great Danes are far from their best form and it will be very difficult to beat Feyenoord, who beat Bayern in the last round. At the same time, the Rotterdam team also has plenty of weak points and they have not been particularly stable throughout the season, both teams are approximately equal in terms of both the selection of players and the quality of football, a draw is more than likely to result in such a confrontation, it makes sense to take a risk and give preference to this outcome.
Bet - Draw. This bet is offered for 3.75
Bet on corners
Lille will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Feyenoord will also take risks and are capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.65
