BATE V LILLE PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

BATE are top of the Belarus Premier League with 65 points from 29 matches, winning 20, drawing 5 and losing 4.  They are 4 points ahead of 2^nd place Shakhtyor with just one match remaining so will win a 7^th straight title.  Their Champions League group stage results started amazing with back to back wins at Lille and at home to Bayern.  This was followed by two disappointing loses to Valencia which leaves them in 3^rd place and they must win this match if they want to have a chance of going through.

Lille struggled early in the season and are currently 8^th in Ligue 1 with 20 points from 13 matches, winning 5, drawing 5 and losing 3.  They have won 3 of their last 4 however and are moving up the table.  In the Champions League things have been disastrous with 4 straight defeats leaving them bottom of the group with no chance of qualifying. 

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

BATE have surprised many with their performances in the Champions League so far and still have a chance of qualifying for the knockout stages.  With their domestic league already wrapped up and the final game being played this weekend they will have full concentration on their two remaining Champions League matches.  With a defensive record of just 0.5 goals conceded per game in the league they will feel they can hold any team, especially at home and they have goals spread throughout their team with 10 squad members scoring 2 or more this season.

Lille are all but out of Europe this year and need to comfortably win their two remaining matches just to have a hope of finishing in 3^rd place and drop into the Europa League.  It is more likely they have given up the fight for this year and will concentrate on getting back near the top end of Ligue 1. 

BATE V LILLE PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

BATE are favourites here as the home side and they have more to fight for.  They were comfortably beaten at home to Valencia but in the league they have won 4 in a row and beat Bayern Munich earlier in the campaign also.

William Hill are offering 2.10 on a home win which I think is good value.

BATE V LILLE PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

If you think Lille can transfer their improved league form into their first Champions League points then the Asian Handicap market gives you a nice option.  You can back Lille +0.5, this means any Lille win or draw will win the bet.

188bet are top price here at 1.86 on Lille +0.5

BATE V LILLE PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

BATE has seen an average of 3.4 goals per game over their last 5, with 3 over 2.5 goals.  Lille has seen 2.6 over the same time frame but just 1 ended over 2.5 goals.

I think the under should be a reasonable favourite here and think Ladbrokes have got it all wrong in offering Under 2.5 Goals at 2.0.  Back it quick before they fix things.
