Lille v Betis prediction

What to expect

We expect about 2.5 goals from Lille and 0.7 from Betis, so Lille come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.2 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Betis come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Lille to win. Lille are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.6-0.7), and we make them about 84% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 84 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.35, which works out at about 43 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

What the numbers say
Lille have won two of their last five.
Betis have won four of their last five.

One thing to watch

Betis only need one good spell or a set-piece to nick something, and short-priced favourites slip up plenty.
