📰 Team News: Lille
There is just the lone fitness concern for the Lille manager Paulo Fonseca to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Samuel Umtiti (Knee surgery) misses out.
It looks as if LOSC will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for this game featuring Lucas Chevalier, Tiago Santos, Bafode Diakite, Leny Yoro, Ismaily, Benjamin Andre, Nabil Bentaleb, Edon Zhegrova, Remy Cabella, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Jonathan David.
ℹ️ Team News: Aston Villa
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Matty Cash (Hamstring injury), Emiliano Buendía (Cruciate ligament tear), Boubacar Kamara (Knee injury), Tyrone Mings (Cruciate ligament tear) and Jacob Ramsey (Toe injury) miss out here.
From our viewpoint, The Villans will likely play in a 4-4-1-1 lineup, giving starts to Emiliano Martinez, Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres, Lucas Digne, Leon Bailey, Youri Tielemans, Douglas Luiz, Morgan Rogers, John McGinn and Ollie Watkins.
⚡ Prediction
Looking at these two, we feel that Aston Villa and Lille could well both score and end up finding themselves in a fairly even game here.
A draw looks like a realistic possibility, but we’ll see what happens. We’re therefore anticipating a very even match with a 1-1 scoreline at the end of the 90.
