Sevilla FC vs Lille OSC - 02/11/2021

Sevilla and Lille have struggled in the Champions League with neither side able to kick start their campaigns. Sevilla go into matchday 4 of Champions League Group G with three points from nine on offer.
Remarkably, Julen Lopetegui’s team has drawn all three of their group stage games. Sevilla are second in Group G, but five points back of runaway group leaders Red Bull Salzburg.
Lille are third in Group G after three matches. Two points have been taken by the French champions. The reverse fixture between Sevilla and Lille finished nil-nil as neither side could find the upper hand.
Les Dogues are winless in four straight matches in all competitions. Two of those four fixtures finished in losses, including their match at the weekend against Paris Saint-Germain, which finished 2-1.
Sevilla are unbeaten in five straight matches in all competitions. Los Rojiblancos are coming off of a La Liga weekend win against Osasuna 2-0. Diego Carlos and Lucas Ocampos scored the goals for Sevilla.
Rafe Mir and Erik Lamela lead Sevilla in goals this season with four apiece. Lopetegui has striker Youssef En-Nesyri back from injury and the forward could start the game on Tuesday night.
Midfielder Thomas Delaney and Alejandro Gomez are both doubts to play due to injuries. Gonzalo Montiel and Karim Rekik are both ruled out of the fixture due to their respective fitness issues.
Meanwhile, Lille coach Jocelyn Gourvennec is hoping the duo of Sven Botman and Leo Jardim will be passed fit for the trip to Seville.
Both players have missed recent fixtures due to injury. Gourvennec will have Benjamin Andre available after he served a suspension last weekend.
Jonathan David leads Lille in goals this season with eight in all competitions. He is in good form after scoring against Paris Saint-Germain at the weekend.
Sevilla have lost just once all season in all competitions. They are focused on winning La Liga. Sevilla sit joint-second with Real Madrid on 24 points in the league and have a game in hand over league leaders Real Sociedad.
Lopetegui’s side has been excellent at home posting a record of 5W-1D-0L in all competitions. Sevilla have scored 16 goals and conceded five times to opponents at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in all competitions.
Sevilla should claim another win at home on Tuesday night versus Lille. It should be a low-scoring fixture with Sevilla claiming a win to nil and under 2.5 goals against a struggling, out of form Lille.
