International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Lille and Sevilla are looking forward to this Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Lille and Sevilla.
These teams have little in common geographically as Sevilla have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Lille form and stats
Lille participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the group stage.Lille have played 4 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-0-1 (wins-draws-losses). There’s a good atmosphere here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy after three straight home wins.
No payout for Lille in their previous match, an away game at Clermont that ended in defeat 0-1. Midfielder Xeka was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.85 (out of ten) in that game. Xeka hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Previous to that game, a Ligue 1 home match hosting Olympique Marseille in a game that was won 2-0.The match schedule is unforgiving for Lille as they have a new game in only three days, a Ligue 1 match thankfully also at home. Brest are visiting.
Lille have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy with 6 goals in 4 league matches. Lille have conceded 6 from these games.
Sevilla form and stats
Sevilla was sent out of Champions League in the 8th finals last season, when Borussia Dortmund turned out to be too strong.As the visiting team in La Liga matches, Sevilla have produced an overall stat of 2-2-1 so far.
Two travels in a row for Sevilla, whose manager J. Lopetegui Argote could celebrate last time after the La Liga win against Celta de Vigo. Midfielder Joan Jordán was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.43. Jordán hit two key passes and had 36 successful passes (of 42 total).
Prior to that match, the Sevilla manager J. Lopetegui Argote faced defeat when travelling to Granada and losing 0-1.After this away game Sevilla return home for a La Liga game against Levante. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Sevilla defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 5 games).
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the previous two meetings involving these two contenders are: one win for Lille, zero draws and one win for Sevilla. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
