Lille welcome Crvena Zvezda to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in the first leg of the Europa League playoffs. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched, we predict a 1-1 draw. The French side are struggling for form, earning just 1.00 point per game overall this season and 0.75 at home, while scoring 0.75 goals per home match and conceding 2.00. Experienced striker Olivier Giroud is expected to lead the line, but Lille’s attack has been inconsistent, and they have failed to score in 40% of matches.
Crvena Zvezda, by contrast, are in red-hot form, with 2.60 points per away game and 2.20 goals scored per match, conceding just 0.40 goals per game. Their defense has kept clean sheets in 60% of matches, and Franklin Tebo Uchena’s return strengthens their backline. Historically, Crvena Zvezda won the only previous encounter against Lille, highlighting their ability to challenge strong European sides.
As Crvena Zvezda have improved defensively and Lille missing key attacker, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw (small stake).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 19 February 2026 at 20:00.
