Europa League
Celta-Lille. Prediction and announcement for the Europa League match
The Europa League main stage 7th round match will be played between Celta and Lille on Thursday, January 22. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.
Celta
The team is showing good results this season. Celta, which collected 32 points after 20 weeks in La Liga, is in 7th place in the rankings. However, despite being in the top 5, the team is only 2 points behind. The club left the Spanish Cup at the 1/16 final stage after a defeat against Albacete.
The Spaniards collected 9 points in the Europa League over 6 weeks and ranked 19th in the overall rankings. The club is just 2 points away from level 25.
Lille
The season is going well for the French too. Lille, which managed to collect 32 points in Ligue 1 for 18 weeks, ranked 5th in the rankings. The team is only 3 points behind the 3rd place. The team was eliminated from the French Cup by Lyon in the 1/16 final stage.
In the Europa League, the French show the same results as Celta; After six weeks, the club has 9 points on its balance sheet. However, due to the worst goal/conceded difference, Lille is in 20th place in the rankings.
personal meetings
The clubs have never met each other in official matches.
interesting facts
- Celta won all of their last 3 home matches.
- Lille lost 3/3 of their previous matches.
- Celta did not concede a goal 5 times in the last 6 La Liga matches.
To guess
Considering that Celta’s defense is excellent, we should not expect a high-scoring match. I will bet on the under 3 total (at odds of 1.5 according to the bookmaker’s Betting line).
