Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Feyenoord
Stade Pierre-Mauroy will be the centre of attention when Lille and Feyenoord face each other in an eagerly-awaited Champions League game. Les Dogues aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Liverpool and a win over Feyenoord could see them secure a top-eight finish. Both Aissa Mandi and Benjamin Andre are banned for the match, while experienced midfielder Remy Cabella should be recalled to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Strasbourg at the weekend.
De Trots van Zuid, on the other hand, did well to crush Bayern Munich 3-0 at their De Kuip in round 7, but beating Lille on the road is easier said than done. The two sides are level on points in the Champions League standings and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Quilindschy Hartman and Jordan Lotomba are injured for the visiting team.
