Following their shock 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the final round of Champions League fixtures, Lille have a new Madrid club in their sights when they take on Atletico. Three points will be a tough ask for the Mastiffs as Atleti are unbeaten at home this season and have won four times in that series, but that doesn’t mean the visitors can’t have some fun in the Spanish capital. Diego Simeone’s reputation as an excellent defensive coach has waned somewhat in recent years and the fact that Atleti have gone six Champions League games without a clean sheet – they scored 12 goals in that run – will give Lille some hope for this tricky trip.

Worryingly, Atletico Madrid were beaten 4-0 by Benfica in their last Champions League match and with key centre-backs Robin Le Normand and Clement Lenglet ruled out through injury, they once again look vulnerable at the back. Lille are no braggarts as they have gone five games unbeaten in recent weeks and with Jonathan David in charge they should pose a threat. Both teams scoring has been a winning bet in Atletico’s last three home games and it looks possible again.
