Game Preview
The Reds beat Brentford on the road, 0-2, with a pair of late goals from Darwin Nunez. Both of the hits were in stoppage time, in the 91st and 93rd minutes of the match. This was a big win for L’Pool, who kept the edge in the Premier League standings and also had good morale ahead.
This is data for all who love betting on UCL: Liverpool conceded just once over six meetings in this year’s Champions League edition. It was against AC Milan on the road.

Meanwhile, Lille beat Nice this Friday night, 2-1. This was their 21st meeting in a row without a loss. There were quite a few ties along the way, but this shows that the French team has a fighting spirit and mentality.
In the past 10 outings across all competitions, Lille has won and tied five games each. Six of those games have seen both teams netting during this interval.
