The first French club to kick off this Champions League group stage is none other than Lille. They’ll play their first Champions League match this Tuesday against Betis Sevilla at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Now under the guidance of Davide Ancelotti, the Dogues have gotten off to a great start in Ligue 1. They’ve managed to earn 7 points after their first 3 matches in the French league. The Lille club relies in particular on an excellent defense. They’ll have another chance to prove it this midweek.
Betis Sevilla is a team to be taken very seriously! We’re talking about a squad that has won 3 out of 4 La Liga matches. They pulled off a major upset last Friday by defeating Real Madrid (1-0). The Andalusian club has built up a great deal of confidence ahead of their Champions League campaign. Manuel Pellegrini’s men have already recorded three clean sheets since the start of the season. They’ll be looking to put in another solid performance on Lille's home turf.

Lille - Betis: Form Analysis
After Bruno Genesio’s departure, Davide Ancelotti took over as Lille's head coach. We were eager to see him in action with his new team. And he certainly didn’t disappoint in his Ligue 1 debut! Right off the bat, the Dogues defeated SCO Angers (0-2). They came very close to pulling off a major upset in their very next match against PSG.
Leading by two goals at the start of stoppage time, they were ultimately caught up in a completely wild finish (2-2). But that didn’t shake Lille’s confidence! Even though they were outplayed, they managed to get back on the winning track by defeating Toulouse FC last Thursday (0-1). With 7 points from 3 Ligue 1 matchdays, Lille have built up plenty of confidence ahead of their Champions League debut.
While Lille held PSG to a draw in Ligue 1 (2-2), Betis Sevilla has just defeated Real Madrid in La Liga (1-0).
Betis Sevilla has been just as impressive since the start of La Liga. They kicked off the Spanish league season with wins over Real Sociedad (1-0) and Valencia CF (0-1). Somewhat to everyone’s surprise, the Andalusian club then suffered a heavy defeat on the road against Levante (5-2).
But that was just a minor setback for the Spanish club. They bounced back in the best possible way last Friday. Manuel Pellegrini’s team managed to beat Real Madrid thanks to a goal by Troy Parrott early in the final 10 minutes. They certainly couldn’t have asked for anything better ahead of their return to the Champions League.

Lille & Betis Squad Analysis
For its Champions League debut, Lille will still be without Tanguy Kouassi and Hamza Igamane. Davide Ancelotti still has the roster to get off to the best possible start in Europe’s premier competition. Last Thursday, Berke Özer delivered a standout performance on the road against Toulouse FC. The Dogues’ goalkeeper has no intention of letting up for this Champions League showdown. He can count on an excellent central defensive pairing of Alexsandro and Nathan Ngoy.
Benjamin André and Nabil Bentaleb are indispensable in Lille’s midfield. Up front, Olivier Giroud has gotten off to a great start this season, with 1 goal and 2 assists in Ligue 1. The same goes for Ayase Ueda. The former Feyenoord forward made his debut with Lille against Toulouse and scored the only goal of the match.
Berke Özer was brilliant in goal for LOSC on the final matchday of Ligue 1 against Toulouse FC.
For Betis Sevilla, Diego Conde, Giovani Lo Celso, Abde Ezzalzouli, and Aitor Ruibal are unavailable. Diego Llorente, who was forced to leave the game due to injury in the first half against Real Madrid, is also doubtful for the match. Álvaro Valles, meanwhile, has gained a lot of confidence in goal for the Andalusian side. He recorded a shutout against Real Madrid, notably saving a penalty kick from Kylian Mbappé.
He can count on experienced players in front of him, such as Marc Bartra and Natan. Marc Roca and Pablo Fornals have been racking up appearances in the Andalusian club’s midfield. Up front, Antony hopes to open his goal-scoring account very soon this season. Troy Parrott has already done just that! Signed this summer, he just found the back of the net against Real Madrid.

Our Lille vs Betis Prediction
We don’t expect a goal-fest at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Lille and Betis Sevilla have both boasted excellent defenses since the start of the season. The Dogues have already recorded two clean sheets in three Ligue 1 matchdays. The only time they failed to keep a clean sheet was against PSG. The Andalusian club is just as solid. Granted, they suffered a heavy defeat against Levante (5-2). Aside from that major setback, they’ve kept clean sheets in their other three La Liga matches.
Our prediction for Lille vs. Betis: under 2.5 goals in the match!
