Preview
Lille looks to gain some form in their UCL campaign after losing 2-1 to Salzburg away in their previous match.
Adeyemi scored twice for the Austrian side while Yilmaz managed to pull one back for Lille as the French side continued their inconsistent start to the 2021-22 season.
The French side is last in the table with 1 point from 2 matches and look to gain a massive three points.
On the other hand, Sevilla was held to a 1-1 away draw in their previous match against Wolfsburg.
Rakitic’ late penalty goal ensured the Spanish side came back home with a point after Steffan broke the deadlock for the hosts.
This was Sevilla’s second successive stalemate in the Champions League which puts them under pressure to pick their campaign up quickly before it gets too late.
These two sides head into the Champions League with contrasting league forms. While the former is struggling, the latter look assured.
