Lille lost their previous meeting with Sevilla but won the two prior, both of which were at home. All three games featured fewer than three goals. Lille are unbeaten in six of their seven home games against Spanish opposition.
Sevilla are unbeaten in five of their last six games in all competitions. Their season has been characterised by low-scoring games, with five of the previous six featuring fewer than three goals. They have failed to win four of their last five away games, and their most recent six matches on the road produced fewer than three goals.

The bet of our experts
Sevilla have a poor historical record away to French opposition but will feel that the conditions are right to improve that. Lille fail to instil fear in continental foes on their turf, and that reflects in their poor European home form. We expect a scrappy encounter. Back under 2.5 goals.
