Premium Tips

Andy leans towards a draw but thinks there could be goals on the agenda.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Draw and over 2.5 goals10/1This looks a well-matched Champions League tie between two sides who like to play. Lille showed their attacking side in a 2-2 home draw with PSG, and Betis have been involved in goals too, including a 5-2 at Levante, so there is a platform for goals here. Both carry proven scorers up top and neither is likely to sit back at this level. With little to separate the pair on quality and a real chance of an open, evenly-poised contest, a draw with over 2.5 goals is a tempting shout at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Ayase Ueda and Troy Parrott to score anytime5/1This one pairs two proven goalscorers. Ayase Ueda is a natural finisher, netting 31 goals in 58 games during his Feyenoord days and 10 in 14 for Japan, so he leads the Lille line with real pedigree. Troy Parrott matches him, having plundered 30 goals in 57 games for AZ and already opened his account for Betis, on top of six in five for the Republic of Ireland. With both strikers carrying strong scoring records and spearheading their teams’ attacks, backing Ueda and Parrott to each find the net makes for an appealing double.

How Lille go into the game

Lille won 1-0 at Toulouse last time out and open at home, where they are dangerous. A fast start to the campaign is the aim.

Well-organised and quick in transition, Lille will fancy their chances against Betis.

How Real Betis go into the game

Real Betis beat Real Madrid 1-0 last time out, a superb result. They travel to France in fine form.

Dangerous and well-coached, Betis carry a threat but face a tough trip. A point would be a good start.
