Though they weren’t really expected to mount a title challenge this season, with other teams floundering, Lille have taken it upon themselves to tussle PSG for that top-spot in the French Ligue 1. So far, so good for Les Dogues.

Amassing a staggering 22 points from their opening 11 games, Galtier’s men occupy second-place on the log, and are just two points behind defending champions PSG. Resuming EL action this week, Lille will be aiming for a top-drawer performance to stand a chance against Milan.

Despite being pretty inconsistent in the French Ligue 1, Lille remain in contention for the league title. Should this side manage to muster a league triumph, it will be very memorable – a success story that will remain in the hearts of supporters for a really long time.

Many are rooting for Les Dogues to knock Paris Saint-Germain off their perch, and Galtier’s men are well on-course to achieving just that. Playing host to struggling Lorient last time out, Lille turned in a performance of the highest quality to post all three points on the board.

With Yazici in red-hot form on the night, the striker bagged a brace as his side put four unanswered goals past their sorry opposition. Now, LOSC are blowing hot on PSG’s tails, and the latter cannot afford any slip-ups to avoid relinquishing top-spot to Lille.

On the European scene, Lille are also showing their unrivaled brilliance, topping Group H – a section consisting of heavyweights like AC Milan and Celtic. With seven points on the board, Galtier’s men are just a single point clear of this week’s opposition Milan.

They came up against this Italian side on the last matchday, and posted an emphatic 3-0 win to leave Pioli open-mouthed down the touchline. Yazici was, once again, at the center of events in the game, grabbing a hattrick to put the Rossoneri to the sword.

Milan can have no complaints about that defeat given how lackluster they were on the night. In fact, they could easily have lost by a wider margin, but for some profligacy on Lille’s part. Pioli’s charges are second in Group H with six points from three matches.

They are in top-form in the Serie A, setting the pace at the top of the standings. So far, they are yet to suffer defeat – six wins and two draws from their eight fixtures. They will be gunning for a repeat of the weekend’s 3-1 win over Napoli, in this European clash against French side Lille.

Lille: Renato Sanches, Zeki Celik and Burak Yilmaz.

Lille vs AC Milan Predictions

Ordinarily, Lille should be considered favorites for the win, given their recent overall form and home advantage. However, Milan will be coming into this game, charging for revenge after their humiliating defeat on matchday three.

As such, the hosts are likely to be given a run for their money. Given the attacking explosiveness of these two sides, goals are a given. Count on both sides to hit the target, with no less than three goals on the board. (BTTS & Over 2.5)
