🚨 Line-ups ready: Betis start their European run against Lille | OneFootball

Stade Pierre Mauroy welcomes 50,186 spectators for the first official UEFA Champions League clash between Lille and Real Betis. The home side, under Davide Ancelotti, come into this in fine form, backed by a six-match unbeaten run. With veteran Olivier Giroud as the focal point up front and young Ethan Mbappé pulling the strings, Les Dogues will look to strike first at home.

Real Betis, meanwhile, will lean on Manuel Pellegrini’s authority to lead an ambitious project on Europe’s biggest stage. The Verdiblancos will base their attack on Isco’s creativity, Antony’s pace, and Troy Parrott’s finishing up front. With no previous official meetings between the two sides, a fascinating tactical battle is expected between French solidity and Betis talent.
