Liverpool v Lille Betting Tips [21 January 2025]

Liverpool and Lille will face off as the Champions League returns for the penultimate round. Heading to this Tuesday game, Liverpool top the Champions League standings while Lille are eighth. Below is our prediction for this match.

Liverpool’s run in the Champions League has so far been perfect; they have 18 points from six matches. They are coming into this game off a dramatic 2-0 win at Brentford.

That result marked just their second clean sheet in five matches but it was their third straight unbeaten outing.

At home, Liverpool have just one clean sheet in the last four matches.

Lille will hope to be the first team in Europe to take points off Liverpool. It has been 15 years since they last visited Anfield, back then losing 3-0 in the UEFA League.

This time, backed by a solid run in recent times, they will seek three points to possibly take them to second in the standings. The French side is unbeaten in 21 matches, a run that started after a 2-0 loss to Sporting Lisbon in September.

Ahead of this game, they came from behind to beat Nice 2-1 in Ligue 1. That was their first win inside 90 minutes in 2025. Their biggest strength is in attack, having only failed to score twice in 21 matches.

Liverpool and Lille are both defending undefeated runs coming into this game and have had good runs in the Champions League. The hosts remain on a perfect record in this competition and playing at home will boost their chances. 

They, however, face a top performing side that also rarely fails to score. In 21 matches Lille are unbeaten and failed to score in just two. With these numbers in attack, our prediction for Liverpool v Lille is for both teams to score.
