Last season, Lille narrowly missed out on direct qualification for the Champions League at the last moment. The “Dogues” were in third place before the final round but lost it to the surprising Brest.
In the previous qualification round, Lille faced a very tough opponent—Fenerbahçe, managed by José Mourinho. At home, Lille won 2-1 thanks to a goal by Zhegrova in the 91st minute. In the away leg, Fenerbahçe won 1-0 in regular time, but Lille secured victory with a penalty in the 118th minute.
In the opening round of Ligue 1, Bruno Genesio’s team defeated Reims 2-0 away. However, the victory was overshadowed by a severe injury to Angel Gomes, which caused the match to be interrupted for over half an hour.
Slavia finished last season of the Czech First League in second place, narrowly missing out on the championship title to Sparta, which is currently progressing through the Champions Path qualification. However, Slavia was only two points behind their main rivals.
In the previous qualification round, Slavia left no chance for the Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise. The Prague team defeated Union 3-1 at home and secured their advantage with a 1-0 victory away. Slavia looked very solid in these matches and appears to be a team capable of reaching the Champions League group stage for the third time in their history.
Slavia has started the new Czech league season quite well. In the first five rounds, they have collected 13 points, winning the last four matches in a row. The only points they dropped were in the first-round match against Slovácko.
We believe the visitors have no chance. Our prediction is a win for Lille. This bet is offered at odds of 1.79.
