Bologna vs Lille Prediction: the Visitors Keep Surprising the the Fans

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League match between Bologna vs Lille, which will take place on November 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Reds and Blues kicked off the new campaign with a 3:0 away defeat to Lazio. Bologna currently occupies eighth place in the Serie A standings with 18 points, 7 points behind Juventus, who are in the European Cup spot. Going into the fifth round of the Champions League, Bologna is 31st in the standings with one point and a goal difference of 0:5. Bologna drew with Shakhtar Donetsk in the first round. At the same time, they lost to Liverpool, Aston Villa and Monaco.

The visitors started the new cycle with a minimal 1:0 home victory over Rennes. After 12 rounds in Ligue 1, Lille is fourth with 22 points, ten behind leaders PSG. Going into the fifth round of the UCL 2024/25, Lille is 14th with seven points, two behind Aston Villa, the team from the qualifying round of 16. Lille started the draw with a defeat to Sporting but followed that up with wins over Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and a draw with Juventus.

Bologna has performed very poorly in the early rounds of the Champions League. Just one point and zero goals scored against Shakhtar Donetsk is a telling statistic. On the other hand, Lille has been the tournament's revelation, with the visitors beating Real Madrid and Atletico and failing to lose to Juventus, who are clearly more formidable than the French side. We think Lille has a good chance of earning points in Bologna, and we doubt the hosts can beat them. Regarding the scoreline, we don't expect a very effective match, and we won't be surprised if the teams exchange goals and stop there.
