Chelsea v Lille Osc Betting Tips [10 December 2019]

It’s the final round of fixtures in the Champions League this week and no group is as tightly contested as Group H that sees Ajax on top with 10 points followed by Valencia and Chelsea on eight. Chelsea will host Lille knowing that a win would take them to the last-16 with Valencia making the trip to Ajax looking to cause an upset and knock last season's Champions League semi-finalists out of the competition. Frank Lampard’s men were unconvincing at the weekend and fell to a 3-1 defeat away at struggling Everton but Lampard will be hoping his side can bounce back and ensure Champions League football after Christmas.

 

As for their guests Lille, they made it three wins in succession with another 1-0 victory over the weekend at home to Brest meaning they maintain 3=8.5ptrd=11pt place in Ligue 1 albeit 11 points behind leaders PSG. Christophe Galtier’s side have now won their last three games 1-0. Chelsea have won two of their most recent home games out of three but are yet to win at home in this competition. A 1-0 loss to Valencia was followed up by a thrilling 4-4 draw with Ajax at Stamford Bridge but now they must win to guarantee their spot in the knockout stages although a draw may be sufficient. Meanwhile, on the road Lille have struggled. Their last away game was their only win away from home this season. Their overall record on their travels stands at one win, two draws and seven defeats including a 4-1 defeat away at Valenica and 3-0 loss in Amsterdam versus Ajax in the earlier rounds of this group.
