Galatasaray
Lille vs Galatasaray predictions for tonight’s 5.45pm (UK time) kick-off weigh up two sides still without a point in the Champions League, with Lille hosting Galatasaray at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy knowing a win would finally get their campaign up and running.
Anthony Eadson’s Lille vs Galatasaray predictions, best bets and score prediction for Wednesday’s 5.45pm (UK time) kick-off are below.
Premium Tips
We have picked out two value plays from the Lille vs Galatasaray card below.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Olivier Giroud to score anytime | 13/8 (Paddy Power) | Olivier Giroud leads the Lille line and the veteran has the pedigree to punish a Galatasaray defence that has been pulled apart early in this competition. The visitors have conceded seven goals across their opening two games, including four at home to Barcelona, and look vulnerable from open play and set pieces. Lille have found the net in one of their two matches so far but will fancy their chances in front of goal at home, where Giroud is a fair price to get on the scoresheet. |
| Tiago Santos 1+ shot on target | 3/1 (bet365) | Tiago Santos is a full-back who keeps finding the target. He has six shots on target in six Ligue 1 appearances this season, with at least one in four of those games, and he has scored twice. Galatasaray have conceded seven in two league-phase games, losing 3-1 at Sporting CP and 4-1 at home to Barcelona, so Lille’s wide players should get room to attack. bet365 are the only bookmaker pricing Santos at 3/1 for a shot on target, and that looks generous. |

How Lille go into the game
Lille sit 34th in the Champions League league phase with no points from their opening two matches. They lost 3-0 away at Arsenal last time out, having lost their opener 3-2 at home to Real Betis.
Both of Lille’s games have ended in defeat, and the Stade Pierre-Mauroy has already seen them concede three against Betis. They have scored just twice in the competition and Arsenal kept them off the scoresheet entirely.
How Galatasaray go into the game
Galatasaray are 35th and also without a point, having lost 4-1 at home to Barcelona most recently. Before that they lost 3-1 away at Sporting CP on the opening matchday.
On the road, Galatasaray managed just a single goal and shipped three in that defeat at Sporting. They have at least found the net in both games, but seven goals conceded tells the story of their start.
Lille vs Galatasaray head-to-head
There is no competitive history between these two clubs, which makes Wednesday’s meeting in northern France a first.
