Our prediction for this Champions League match
Bologna and Lille take on each other at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in what is expected to be a close Champions League encounter. The Rossoblu aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to Lazio, but they face yet another tough challenge against les Dogues. As all Ndoye, Aebischer, Cambiaghi, El Azzouzi, and Ferguson are sidelined through injuries, home win should not be considered. Defender Martin Erlic will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Lille, on the other hand, are enjoying yet another successful season. Bruno Genesio is doing a great job with the Stade Pierre-Mauroy outfit and given the number of absentees in the home team, away win should be considered. To make things even better for the French side, talented midfielder Ngalayel Mukau is back from the domestic ban. It has to be noted that the two sides meet for the first time in the elite competition.
How the bookies view it: The odds look wrong
Bookmakers gave Bologna a slight advantage ahead of this game but overall, the odds are close. You can back the home side at 29/19 or the visitors at 2/1 Jilipark, while the draw is currently available at 21/10 at Baawin.
Players to watch: Four in a row in the Champions League for David
Jonathan David could once again be the man of the hour for Lille. The Canadian is 16 goals away from becoming Lille’s all-time top goalscorer and he already found the net 13 times in the current season.
He scored the winning goal against Real Madrid, the winning brace against Atletico Madrid, and the only goal in the draw against Juventus.
Probable line-ups
Bologna: Ravaglia, Miranda, Lucumi, Bekuema, Posch, Orsolini, Pobega, Fabbian, Feuler, Odgaard, Castro
Lille: Chevalier, Meunier, Diakite, Ribeiro, Gudmundsson, Zhegroba, Andre, Gomes, Bouaddi, Sahraoui, David
Bologna vs Lille Prediction
Lille hope to return to winning ways in the Champions League as they lock horns with Bologna on Wednesday.
The visitors demonstrated their defensive resilience against Juventus by securing a 1-1 stalemate on match-day four.
However, they come into this match with plenty of confidence in their tank following a five-game away unbeaten run.
Meanwhile, Bologna continues to search for their maiden win in the competition after a one-nil defeat to Monaco.
They have only won once in their last five home matches as they battle to get back on track with this clash.
Both clubs’ goal-scoring records in previous games have not been quite impressive and we predict this will have an impact on this tie, resulting in a low scoring outcome.
Jonathan David has four goals in four appearances in the competition and is expected to make a difference for Lille in this matchup. Jonathan David to score is a worthwhile bet.
