Lille look to win four home games in a row for the first time since their 2020-21 title-winning campaign when they host Dinamo Zagreb in this Europa League group stage encounter. French outfit the hosts are currently fourth in Ligue 1, whereas Croatian visitors the away side are only two points off their domestic table top at the moment. In Europe it’s a close call – only point separates Lille and Dinamo, although bookies make the hosts odds on to win with over 65% probability. Our preview includes form, history, team news and the key betting angles.
H2H stats
Thursday’s meeting will be the first between Lille and Dinamo Zagreb in any competition. Lille have yet to lose against Croatian opponents, with two wins and two draws from four matches. Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, have a rather poor record against French clubs, with just four wins in 19 previous fixtures.
Lille team overview
Lille’s title in the 2020-21 remains one of the highlights of last decade and it is still searching for a similarly important accolade.
Domestically, results have been less consistent — they are now fourth in Ligue 1 after finishing in about the same position each of the past two seasons. The Europa League has provided an opportunity to shock, but the progress has been fitful, with only two victories in four games.
Home form gives hope, though. Bruno Génésio’s men have won their last three games at Stade Pierre-Mauroy and are looking to win four in a row for the first time since 2021.
Calvin Verdonk is again available after his suspension, but Marc-Aurèle Caillard, Ousmane Touré and Alexsandro are all injured.

Dinamo Zagreb team overview
In Dinamo Zagreb’s claim to trophies they are not found wanting, with five in the last three years behind them, of which two were Croatian league titles. The Citizens missed out last term but are now back in contention and just a point off the pace at the top of the league behind Hajduk Split.
Their Europa League campaign started slowly, with two winless games, but they responded by defeating Maccabi Tel Aviv and Fenerbahce. Away form remains a problem, with Dinamo boasting just once in five recent road trips.
Mario Kovačević’s men will want to turn things around this week, although the trip to France is a challenge that will test their powers of recovery against what has hitherto been an impressive Lille outfit at home.
On the injury front, Zagreb will be out the services of Raúl Torrente and Moris Valincic due to cruciate ligament and ankle problems respectively.

Prediction
Lille have won all three of their last home games and scored 11 goals in the process. The French team have also won four of the last six games in their own stadium in Europe while Dinamo Zagreb have been weak away with just one win from five as guests. With home advantage, I'm hoping Lille can score more than twice in what will be an entertaining game.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Four of the last five home games of Lille in Europe produced over 2.5 goals.
- All the last five games of Dinamo Zagreb ended with over 2.5 goals.
- Three of the last four home games of Lille ended with 3+ goals.
