Lille vs Aston Villa Preview and Team News
Lille Team News
Lille have been in good form, going unbeaten in four of their last five matches. Their most recent outing ended in a draw with Lorient.
Central defender Nathan Ngoy stood out in that game with 92% passing accuracy and a 67% success rate in long balls. Interestingly, the Belgian also won all of his ground and aerial duels
Midfielder Nabil Bentaleb impressed too, showcasing great accuracy in both long balls and crossing. These players could play a key role in subduing the Villans’ offensive unit
Les Dogues have several injury concerns, with Osame Sahraoui, Ousmane Toure, Ethan Mbappe, and Hamza Igamane all sidelined.
Lille predicted lineup vs Aston Villa (4-3-1-2): Ozer; Perraud, Mandi, Ngoy, Santos; Andre, Bentaleb, Bouaddi; Haraldsson; Fernandez-Pardo, Perrin.
Aston Villa Team News
Aston Villa have failed to win any of their last four matches, and this poor form could prove costly against Lille. The Villans have conceded 10 goals during that span while scoring a mere three, averaging fewer than one per game
Unai Emery’s side came apart in their recent outing, suffering a heavy 1-4 home defeat to Chelsea. They managed only nine shots all evening, producing a modest xG of 0.78, and failed to convert any of the three big chances they created against the Londoners
Injuries have also affected the squad. Matty Cash, Andres Garcia, Boubacar Kamara, Harvey Elliott, Youri Tielemans, and John McGinn are all sidelined.
Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Lille (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Maatsen, Mings, Konsa, Lindelof; Luiz, Onana; Rogers, Buendia, Bailey; Watkins.
Lille vs Aston Villa Prediction
- Pick: Lille to win or draw
- Odds: -179 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Lille 2-2 Aston Villa
We expect either a draw or a Lille win. Their form has been much better than their opponents’. They’ve scored five goals across their last four outings and conceded only once, recording three clean sheets
Lille’s strong defensive structure, led by Ngoy, could frustrate the Villans, whose star attacker, Ollie Watkins, has struggled for form lately. He managed just 17 touches against Chelsea, only four of which came in the opponents’ box. Notably, the Englishman also failed to create a single chance in that match.
Lille vs Aston Villa Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -125 (20Bet)
Despite Watkins’ poor form, we expect Aston Villa to get on the scoresheet. Winger Morgan Rogers will be the man to watch, as he’s already made 17 goal contributions this season, three of which have come in the Europa League
Hakon Arnar Haraldsson, who has recorded three goal contributions in this tournament, should lead the attack for the hosts. Lille also lead the league with an average of 33.1 accurate long balls per match, and Villa are likely to wilt under the constant pressure of aerial duels.
