Arne Slot’s Liverpool remain in contention for all major trophies this season, and their spot in the next round of the Champions League could be assured with a win on Tuesday.
The Reds come into matchday six as the only side in the competition still sporting a 100% record. Liverpool have the best defensive record in the tournament, conceding just one goal in their six matches.
Lille shouldn’t be overwhelmed by this challenge. The Ligue 1 team have won four of their six matches, and have avoided defeat in their last five to sit eighth in the overall standings.

Liverpool vs. Lille Picks

Lille have caught the eye already in matches against Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, meaning a low-scoring affair is likely. However, it remains hard to overlook the hosts.
