PREDICTED LINE-UPS | Lille v Real Madrid
Real Madrid will aim to continue their unbeaten streak across all competitions when they face Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy tonight.
Champions League action returns for Real Madrid as they aim to register their second victory in the competition’s new format after defeating Stuttgart by a 3-1 margin in the opener. Goals from Kylian Mbappe, Antonio Rudiger and Endrick helped avert a potential comeback initiated by Deniz Undav’s 68th-minute strike to hand Los Blancos the three points. Carlo Ancelotti’s men went out in search of revenge against their neighbourhood rivals Atletico Madrid in their previous game but they were left just short to getting the victory from a fiery Madrid derby when Angel Correa netted the equaliser in added time.
Meanwhile, Lille come into this match in upbeat mood after securing a 3-0 win over Le Havre in their last match. Jonathan David, who has broken through the scoring charts since last season, was on point that day to net a hattrick. Les Dogues reached the Champions League through the playoff round where they sealed a 3-2 victory on aggregate against Slavia Praha. While Lille’s opening game did not go according to plan as Sporting Lisbon mastered a stunning performance through goals from Victor Gyokeres and Zeno Debast.
Here are the predicted line-ups for the match.
LOSC Lille: Chevalier; Tiago Santos, Diakite, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson; Andre, Andre Gomes, Cabella; Zhegrova, David, Sahraoui.
Real Madrid: Lunin; Carvajal, Eder Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouameni; Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior
