THE PREDICTION
A 1-0 defeat to promoted side Clermont over the weekend is hardly ideal preparation for reigning Ligue 1 champions Lille as they look to register their first win of the Champions League campaign. Manager Jocelyn Gourvennec is clearly still finding his feet at the club while Sevilla are a much more settled outfit under the tutelage of Julen Lopetegui. The Spanish visitors have come back to draw both of their Champions League games so far, showing excellent resilience in doing so, and it would be no surprise to see them take something from this game. Their matches this have been generally been low-scoring though with just one of their last ten competitive games seeing over two goals scored. With that in mind, backing under 2.5 goals is the betting tip for this encounter.
