Playing at home presents a strong advantage for teams in the Champions League due to their home fans' support and familiarity with the pitch. However, no team would want to rely on such factors more against Real Madrid. A major factor that can affect Lille tonight is the injury they face to some of their key players most notably Nabil Bentaleb, and Ethan Mbappe. At the same time, Angel Gomes serves a match suspension due to yellow card rules. Lille will most likely build in a 4-2-3-1 formation Jonathan David leading the line as the lone striker
Real Madrid

The visitors’ squad is heavily impacted by injuries, with Kylian Mbappé, who has 49 goals in 74 Champions League games, out with a thigh injury. Real Madrid will also be missing Thibaut Courtois due to a muscle issue. Despite these setbacks, Madrid is expected to play a 4-3-3 formation, with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo leading the attack, and Luka Modric controlling the midfield.
