Our prediction for the match Lille vs Real Madrid
Last season, Lille showed significant improvement under Paulo Fonseca, securing fourth place in Ligue 1 and returning to the Champions League, albeit through qualification. Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti added yet another Champions League title to his collection with Real Madrid, along with a domestic Super Cup and a La Liga title.
Lille are now under new management, with Bruno Génésio at the helm and several new signings, including André Gomes, Thomas Meunier, and Mitchel Bakker. Although they had a slow start to the season, Lille bounced back with a 3-0 win over Le Havre in the previous round. Real Madrid, after parting ways with Joselu, Nacho, and Kroos, made up for it with the high-profile signings of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick. Despite a couple of away draws, Madrid seem to have regained their form. However, they let victory slip in the final moments of the derby against Atlético Madrid.
Real Madrid had a challenging start to the Champions League as well. Facing Stuttgart, they allowed the Germans to equalize early in the second half but secured a 3-1 victory with an 83rd-minute goal by Rüdiger. Lille, meanwhile, excelled in the qualification rounds by defeating Fenerbahçe and Slavia Prague, but were outclassed by Sporting in their group stage opener, losing 0-2 away.
