Comments, predictions Liverpool vs Lille: The upper team will win hard

Latest Liverpool vs Lille team information

Liverpool will go into Tuesday's crucial game with just one notable absentee, Joe Gomez, who is not expected to return until early February. It would be a surprise if manager Arne Slot were to risk starting centre-back Ibrahima Konate, given his injury woes. Wataru Endo is therefore likely to be given the chance to partner captain Virgil van Dijk in central defence, forming a solid partnership in front of goal.

In addition, Diogo Jota's ability to play is also uncertain due to a minor injury, causing a lot of concern for the coaching staff and fans. If Jota cannot participate, striker Luis Diaz will likely lead the Liverpool attack, along with familiar stars such as Mohamed Salah and Federico Chiesa. In addition, after a brilliant performance against Brentford, young talent Harvey Elliott is likely to be given a starting position in the attacking midfield position. Along with him, players such as Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch can form a creative and powerful trio in the midfield area.

Lille’s squad is also not in good shape. Defender Tiago Santos has suffered a serious injury and is expected to miss the rest of the season, a huge blow to the team’s defense. In addition, experienced center back Samuel Umtiti is also recovering and is likely to be out until the end of January. With the shortage of personnel in defense, Lille’s starting lineup will likely include names like Thomas Meunier, Bafode Diakite, Alexsandro Ribeiro, and Ismaily.

Just ahead of them, defensive midfielders Benjamin Andre and Ayyoub Bouaddi will continue to be crucial in controlling the midfield, with Ethan Mbappe and Nabil Bentaleb both ruled out for various reasons. Coach Bruno Genesio may decide to field a fast and creative attacking line-up with Mitchel Bakker, Remy Cabella and Osame Sahraoui, along with key striker Jonathan David, with Edon Zhegrova and Mathias Fernandez-Pardo also ruled out for this crucial game.

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Endo, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Gravenberch; Salah, Elliott, Chiesa; Diaz

Latest Liverpool vs Lille football review

Liverpool had a difficult match against Girona, with the defense facing 8 shots from inside the box and an expected goals (xG) of 1.25. However, with courage and luck, The Kop still managed to keep a clean sheet. They are also the only team to win all 6 matches in the Champions League group stage, an extremely impressive achievement.

Furthermore, Liverpool have shown solidity in defence, conceding only 1 goal in 6 matches, demonstrating the discipline and efficiency of the style of play that coach Arne Slot has built. With these achievements, Liverpool have secured a place in the play-off round and only need one more point to qualify directly for the next round as one of the top eight teams in the group stage.

In the domestic arena, Liverpool are also showing superiority, leading the second-placed team Arsenal by 6 points in the Premier League and still have 1 match left to play. However, Liverpool's recent form has not been really impressive, when they only won 2, drew 2 and lost 1 in the last 5 matches, scoring 9 goals but also had to pick the ball out of the net 4 times. Although the results at home were not really perfect in 2/4 of the most recent matches, they had a series of 9 consecutive wins before that and are still maintaining an unbeaten streak at home with 13 consecutive matches.

Meanwhile, Lille is not far behind when they just had a dramatic 3-2 victory over Sturm Graz in the previous Champions League round, affirming their bravery and determination in the European arena. Coach Bruno Genesio's team is also playing very well in Ligue 1 when they are ranked third on the rankings, showing a solid position among the strongest teams in the tournament. They are even holding one of the three tickets to the group stage of the Champions League next season, showing a clear progress.

Notably, Lille has also shown remarkable stability and strength when losing only one match in 6 matches played in the Champions League this season, and maintaining a streak of 5 unbeaten matches, including 4 consecutive wins. What is more impressive is that Lille is on a streak of 21 unbeaten matches in all competitions, with 12 of them winning, showing an extremely stable form and unpredictability. The team is also on a streak of 11 unbeaten matches away from home, with 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 3 away matches, showing their mettle and strength in important matches.
