Lille vs Real Betis prediction 08.09.2026 | UEFA Champions League

Lille return to Decathlon Arena - Stade Pierre-Mauroy after picking up a narrow 1:0 victory against Toulouse on Thursday.

Ayase Ueda scored the decisive goal shortly after his introduction as Davide Ancelotti's side extended their unbeaten run to three matches. Lille secured seven points from their first Ligue 1 fixtures with victories against Angers and Toulouse and a draw with Paris Saint-Germain.

Les Dogues have scored five goals and conceded only twice, while five of their previous six competitive matches finished with under 2.5 goals scored.

Head coach Ancelotti has two players likely to miss out this week. Tanguy Nianzou and Hamza Igamane are expected to remain unavailable through injury.

Japanese forward Ueda is in contention to make his first start for the home side after scoring on his debut. Dilane Bakwa and Romain Perraud are also competing for recalls after appearing from the bench in Toulouse.

Real Betis travel to France in confident mood after claiming an impressive 1:0 victory against Real Madrid on Friday.

Troy Parrott scored the winning goal after coming off the bench, while Alvaro Valles saved a late Kylian Mbappe penalty to secure all three points for Los Verdiblancos.

Manuel Pellegrini's in-form side have now won three of their opening four league matches, with a 5:2 defeat at Levante their only setback.

Betis kept clean sheets in each of those three victories. Three of their four league fixtures also finished with fewer than three goals.

Real Betis have five confirmed absentees for Tuesday's contest. Abdessamad Ezzalzouli is sidelined with a virus, while Aitor Ruibal, Diego Conde and Giovani Lo Celso remain unavailable through injury.

Diego Llorente is also expected to miss out after suffering a broken nose against Real Madrid. Marc Bartra should replace the Spanish defender in the back four.
