Football Park's Best Bet: Lille to win @1.67 - Our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted a Lille win in this fixture. Their superior form, home advantage, and head-to-head record justify confidence in this selection.
Christian Fassnacht (BSC Young Boys):
Veteran winger Fassnacht has been on fire so far this season for Young Boys and has been nothing short of a crucial component in their attacking success. He is leading the clubs goal contributions list for the Swiss League with a staggering 15 contributions, 10 goals and 5 assists, in 15 games.
Ethan Mbappe (LOSC Lille):
Though he may not quite be as dominant as his brother, the younger Mbappe brother has shown he's not the only one in the family with clear talent. The 18 year old has so far contributed 3 goals and 1 assist in 8 Ligue 1 games but despite not being a contributions machine he has shown influence on games through his runs at defenders and clever link up play.
