Liverpool vs Lille Prediction, Lineups and Odds: 20/1 fancy tipped at Anfield

The Champions League action is about to kick off at Anfield as Liverpool aim to extend their perfect group stage run to seven straight wins against 8th-placed Lille.

Sitting comfortably atop the league phase standings, the Reds need just a point tonight to secure their place in the last-16. However, they'll be keen to make a statement with another victory in front of their own fans with a 20/1 fancy making up one part of our best bets for Liverpool vs Lille, which gets underway shortly at 8pm on Amazon Prime.

Considering Liverpool’s form in the Champions League this season under new manager Arne Slot, it’s hard to look past the Reds making it seven wins on the bounce in this competition this term.

However, it would be foolish to discount Lille as an attacking force in this encounter and the Ligue 1 outfit are capable of giving the hosts a scare at Anfield.

Liverpool started the season rock-solid in defence, but cracks have been starting to appear in their recent Premier League outings at Anfield.

Failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their last three home games in the league, Lille, who have only failed to score once in their last 16 games in all competitions, are likely to find the back of the net on Tuesday.

However, it might not be enough to see Lille pull off a famous win at Anfield and the hosts should still be the ones smiling at the full-time whistle, with a Liverpool win and both teams to score our first bet at 13/8 with Midnite.

Coming in at a big price, there are reasons why Lille to be leading at half-time but Liverpool coming back to win the game catches the eye here.

Liverpool have been guilty of making slow starts to games of late, with the Reds conceding the first goal in all of their last three Premier League home matches against Fulham, Leicester City and rivals Manchester United.

With that in mind, Lille to be leading the break and Liverpool winning Tuesday’s contest appeals at odds of 20/1.
