Liverpool v Lille bet builder tips and predictions: Mo Salah and Jonathan David shine in Champions League

Liverpool face one of the form sides in European football as they welcome Lille to Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
A Darwin Nunez brace helped Liverpool over the line against Brentford at the weekend, a result which could signal a turn of fortunes.
Arne Slot’s side is sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League with a record of 15-5-1, though there have been signs they’ve let standards slip recently.
Visitors Lille arrive unbeaten in 21 matches across all competitions, so Tuesday’s clash promises to be quite the spectacle.
Tuesday’s Champions League bet builder is priced at 7/1 at the time of writing.
Good luck and please gamble responsibly.

Jonathan David 1+ shot on target - 5/6
Both teams to score
It’s foolish to write off the visitors because of Liverpool’s superiority in the Premier League because Lille are perfectly capable of springing a surprise.
It’s also ignorant pricing from the bookmakers to declare both teams scoring a near 50/50 shot given the form of these two sides.
Granted, becoming just the seventh side to win at Anfield in nearly four years won’t be easy, although they can take inspiration from Atalanta’s spectacular 3-0 win here last April.
Having conceded four goals in 11 matches at Anfield before the visit of Fulham, the Reds have allowed five in three matches against top-flight teams, showing some vulnerability.
The French side is guilty of similar runs of form and both teams to score landed in each of their last four European fixtures.
To illustrate the threat they carry, they were able to go to the home of Atletico Madrid, a team conceding fewer than one goal per game since the start of last season, and win 3-1.
Liverpool to win and Mo Salah to score
That said, it’s hard to bet against Liverpool getting the job done on a big European night. The complicating factor is the Reds only need one point to make it through, and some rotation is possible.
On the other hand, Lille will force them to be on their toes and, we think, elicit the best version of Arne Slot’s side.
Liverpool have won seven of nine Champions League ties at home, losing only to Real Madrid. They set the record straight earlier this season, beating the Galacticos 2-0.
Mo Salah has failed to score in four appearances for Liverpool and he hasn’t been as involved in the Champions League.
That’s unusual for the man who makes the Premier League leaders tick, so we’ll back him to get back among the goals on Tuesday, as he’s surely due.
Jonathan David 1+ shot on target
Jonathan David came off the bench that night to bag the winning brace for Lille, contributing to a goal tally that currently sits at 17 across all competitions.
He’s registered two or more shots at goal in each of his Champions League appearances and should relish the opportunity to play at Anfield.
He’s finding the target 1.37 times per game in Ligue 1 and tested the keeper with half of all shots taken in UCL play.
