-----------------------------

Real Betis are set to return to the Champions League for the first time in 21 years when they face Lille in France. Lille, meanwhile, are competing in Europe's elite competition for the second time in three seasons after reaching the knockout stage last campaign.

Team Analysis:

Lille enter the Champions League after finishing third in Ligue 1, with Davide Ancelotti unbeaten in his first three games as head coach. Real Betis return to Europe's elite competition after 21 years, boosted by a recent win over Real Madrid and three victories in their opening four league matches.

Player Situation:

Lille will be without Hamza Igamane and several injury concerns, while Romain Perraud could return to the lineup. Real Betis are missing Diego Llorente and Abde Ezzalzouli, but Diego Conde and Giovani Lo Celso are back, with Dani Ceballos likely to start on the bench.

Result Prediction:

Real Betis have won three of their first four games and arrive with plenty of confidence after beating Real Madrid. However, Lille's unbeaten start under Davide Ancelotti could make this a difficult trip, with Betis likely to settle for a draw.

Predicted Result: Lille 1-1 Real Betis.
