The bare stats make it very hard to fancy anything other than a home win when Arsenal entertain Lille in the Champions League . Mikel Arteta’s side have rattled off 13 consecutive league phase victories in Europe’s elite club competition, while the French outfit have tasted defeat in their last eight away games against English teams.
The Gunners kicked off last year’s campaign with four straight clean-sheet triumphs and have already prevailed 1-0 away to Napoli this season. All that clearly points us towards taking 10/11 for a home win to nil as our first Arsenal vs Lille prediction.

The Gunners topped the league phase table with eight wins last season before making it all the way through to the final, when they only went down on penalties to PSG . Travelling to Napoli first up this term looked a tricky test, but Martin Odegaard’s 75 th -minute strike ensured they returned home with all three points.
Arsenal have also made a solid start to the defence of their Premier League title, picking up five wins out of six to lie second to Manchester City . However, having gone into the international break on the back of a blip at Brighton , Arteta will be keen to see his side sharpen up from Saturday’s 2-1 victory versus Leeds at this venue. James Justin fired the visitors into a well-deserved lead on 55 minutes, but the Gunners hit back through Riccardo Calafiori and Bruno Guimaraes.
“ Leeds are incredibly dangerous and we got into a situation, with a 12:30 kick-off at home, after a defeat, and that is a bad mixture,” said Arteta . “But we got out of that through our desire to win, our personality and courage that we have in this team, and we know that we are going to need that every single week.”
Arteta is likely to give some playing time to different squad members here and Mikel Merino could be one who is given a chance to shine. The 30-year-old scored against Ipswich in the League Cup last month and bagged three goals for Spain during the international break, so 2/1 for him to net at any time appeals from the Arsenal vs Lille odds.

Les Dogues are also second in their domestic table, trailing surprise Ligue 1 leaders Monaco by a single point after Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat of Le Havre made it four wins and a draw with PSG from six outings. Lille did lose their first Champions League fixture, though, going down 3-2 to Real Betis in front of their own fans.
Davide Ancelotti’s side led twice through Ayase Ueda and Alexsandro but were undone by Marc Bartra’s brace and a decider from former Tottenham academy graduate Troy Parrott . Kylian Mbappe’s 19-year-old brother Ethan was later sent off in that match and will miss this game after also seeing red against Betis .
There could be a couple of familiar faces in the Lille team, though, with former Arsenal favourite Olivier Giroud still going strong at the age of 40 and possibly featuring alongside ex- Spurs midfielder Nabil Bentaleb .
However, this should really be a straightforward task for Arsenal , as Lille were beaten 1-0 and 2-0 by Aston Villa in last season’s Europa League round of 16 tie. Let’s add 14/5 for the Gunners to prevail by exactly two goals to our Arsenal vs Lille betting tips.
