Lille form and stats

Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the 16th finals against Ajax.

The total Ligue 1 results playing at home this season for Lille are 6-6-2 (wins-draws-losses). This match is a Champions League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in this competition.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Lille, as their goalkeeper Leonardo Cesar Jardim has completely shut out the opponents for 473 minutes in the Ligue 1.

The spoils were shared in Lille's previous game, also at home. Visiting Saint-Etienne travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Çelik was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.41 out of 10. The defender Çelik hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and won 13 of 14 duels.

Before that, Lille had a Ligue 1 home game versus Clermont which ended with a victory 4-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lille as they are travelling to their away game against Nantes in the Ligue 1. That match is three days after this one.

The Lille fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Lille have conceded 16 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
