Liverpool v Lille

Liverpool vs Lille Preview

Liverpool may have produced an under-par performance on Saturday in the Premier League but nevertheless, The Reds still registered a solid 2-0 win away from home in the nation's capital at Brentford and the merseyside outfit now return to Anfield for this upcoming Champions League tie against French visitors Lille.

Lille also recorded a win over the weekend as the French Ligue 1 outfit picked up a 2-1 home win against Nice which in turn made it an impressive and solid looking 21-game unbeaten sequence across all competitions which will give Bruno Génésio's side a welcome boost ahead of this tough looking trip to Anfield on Tuesday night.

Liverpool have produced a solid and consistent season so far in all competitions and to emphasise this, The Reds have suffered just the single defeat in their last 28 matches across all competitions, which came in the form of a 1-0 defeat away from home in north London at Tottenham.

The merseyside hosts have chalked up no fewer than 22 wins during this dominant spell of results, while form on home soil at Anfield has been exemplary; indeed, Liverpool are now unbeaten in each of their last 13 games at their beloved ground which has once again become a fortress this season under manager Arne Slot.

11 wins within these previous 13 games suggests Liverpool are set for further success in the Champions League on Tuesday night as they look to further consolidate top spot in the table.

Lille have also made themselves a very tough unit to beat in all competitions for some time now as the French Ligue 1 side bring a solid unbeaten run of 21 games into this upcoming Champions League clash at Anfield.

12 wins along with being involved in nine draws underlines the visitors' resilience and consistency across all competitions, and on the Champions League front, Lille have registered four wins, a draw and just the single loss within their six ties played to date in this current campaign.

Lille have also put together a decent looking unbeaten sequence of 11 away games without a defeat which consists of six wins along with being held to five draws, but overall results away from home at Champions League level have been less consistent.

Indeed, Lille have collected just four wins from their previous 13 outings on the road on the Champions League stage whilst also slipping to eight defeats in the process as well, so these results away from home suggest Lille could have their work cut out at Anfield on Tuesday night.

Liverpool v Lille Verdict

Liverpool and Lille last met in a Europa League tie back in 2010 which resulted in a 3-0 win for Liverpool and The Reds look the better equipped to take another step towards sealing a top place finish in the league phase of this competition.
