Lille vs Celtic Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Lille vs Celta
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, October 29, 2024
Start at 17.55 in the UK
Location: Stade Pierre Mauroy, Villeneuve.

This new football season is slowly turning into a disaster for Celtic FC. Their supporters are simply not used to early exits in UEFA Champions League qualifying (as was the case with Ferencvaros), second place in the Premiership and losing Old Firm derbies, as Bhoys was ten days ago.

The situation is more than alarming, with a lot of pressure on Neil Lennon's back. The team even lost its first Europa League game to AC Milan at home, so the trip to France on Thursday could be of crucial importance.

Lille have been looking super strong of late so it's no wonder that odds of 1,61 are on offer to win at home for this clash.

Lille vs Celtic Prediction

If they manage to maintain their form at their current level, Lille OSC will seriously challenge Paris SG in the Ligue 1 title race this season. Coach Christophe Galtier is doing a phenomenal job with the team, as he has accumulated 18 points by opening eight games and sharing first place in the table.

Lille has a solid defense that has conceded only three goals so far, being the only undefeated team in the league. Of the four matches at this stadium, they were victorious in three.

The signing of 35-year-old veteran Burak Yilmaz turned out to be a big move as he returned the favor with four home goals. Yusuf Yazici was the star performer in last week's clash against Sparta Prague in FT's 4-1 away win.

Celtic FC were easily defeated at home by the Rossoneri, so to keep UEL's playoff hopes alive, you need to go for victory here. The 3-3 draw with Aberdeen at the weekend certainly wasn't a huge confidence booster. We don't think Bhoys is ready to stop Lille at this point.
