Bologna - LWWLWL
We think that Rossoblu will probably use a 4-2-3-1 system for this game and select Lukasz Skorupski, Stefan Posch, Sam Beukema, Jhon Lucumi, Juan Miranda, Remo Freuler, Nikola Moro, Riccardo Orsolini, Giovanni Fabbian, Samuel Iling-Junior and Santiago Castro.
Bologna will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 3-0 Serie A defeat last time out to Lazio.
In that game, Bologna had 30% possession and 3 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. Lazio had 13 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Samuel Gigot (68'), Mattia Zaccagni (72') and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (92') scored for Lazio.
Vincenzo Italiano's Bologna have scored 8 times over their preceding six outings. At the other end, the number of goals that have been scored against them in those same fixtures stands at 7.
Lille - WWDDDW
Lille manager Bruno Génésio has a number of players out of action. Nabil Bentaleb (heart problems), Tiago Santos (Cruciate ligament tear), Samuel Umtiti (Knee surgery), André Gomes (Dead leg), Ethan Mbappé (Torn thigh muscle) and Angel Gomes (Calf injury) will miss out on this game.
From our viewpoint, LOSC appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Lucas Chevalier, Aissa Mandi, Bafode Diakite, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Benjamin Andre, Ngal Ayel Mukau, Remy Cabella, Edon Zhegrova and Jonathan David.
Lille come into this game following a 1-0 Ligue 1 win as they beat Rennes in their previous match.
In that match, Lille had 53% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Lille was Edon Zhegrova (45'). Rennes got 4 shots at goal with 1 on target.
Over the course of their last half-dozen outings, Lille have bagged a total of 10 goals. Lille have also scored in every single one of those games. During that period, their defenders have had 5 goals scored by their opponents. We will see if that trend will be continued on into this next match.
Bologna possible starting lineup:
Ravaglia; Posch, Beukema, Lucumi, Miranda; Freuler, Moro; Orsolini, Fabbian, Karlsson; Dallinga
Lille possible starting lineup:
Chevalier; Mandi, Diakite, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson; Andre, Mukau; Zhegrova, Angel Gomes, Sahraoui; David
Bologna vs Lille Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Lille have never played an official game against Bologna in the UEFA Champions League and will need to adapt to a formidable new opponent in the competition this week.
Since their 3-0 victory against Lyon in the UEFA Cup in 1999, Bologna are winless in their last four matches against teams from France in major European competitions.
Lille have won only one of their last five matches against teams from Italy in the UEFA Champions League, with their only such victory during this period coming by a 2-0 scoreline away from home in December 2006.
Bologna are currently the only team without a single goal in the UEFA Champions League this season and have failed to find the back of the net despite attempting 48 shots in the competition
Prediciton: Bologna 1-2 Lille
Bologna have failed to make the most of their opportunities so far, and are yet to score from 48 attempts; meanwhile, Lille have posted some excellent results despite taking only half as many shots. The difference is clearly in the final third, then, and the combined powers of David and Zhegrova will be too much for the home side to withstand.
