Lille made an inauspicious start to this season’s Champions League – beaten 2-0 at Sporting – but seem to have come a long way since. Bruno Genesio’s men have seen off Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid (1-0) and Atletico Madrid (1-3), as well as holding Juventus (1-1) before downing Bologna (1-2).
Jonathan David has been key to their success so far, scoring four goals in the League Phase within a return of 17 goals from 23 appearances this season. He also has previous against Sturm, bagging twice in Lille’s 3-0 win in Graz in the Conference League last-16 clash in March, and looks one to back in the anytime goalscorer market at evens (with bet365).

Despite their inconsistency of late – they thrashed Mallorca 5-1 last Tuesday before a disappointing 2-2 draw with Real Betis on Saturday – Barcelona should still have too much for Borussia Dortmund.
BVB have enjoyed a strong European campaign but a kind run of fixtures explains their lofty position and the fact they lost 5-2 to Real Madrid in their only clash with elite opposition leaves them looking vulnerable against Barca.
Hansi Flick’s side thrashed Madrid 4-0 at the Bernabeu not too long ago while they also routed Dortmund’s rivals, Bayern Munich 4-1, in this competition, suggesting the three points will be heading back to Catalonia on Wednesday.

Benfica should be able to seal a comfortable home win to nil over Bologna, who are the lowest scorers in the Champions League this season with just one goal.
Benfica remain in with a shout of making the top eight after securing three wins from their first five games, while Bologna have only managed a solitary point so far, picked up back on Matchday One in a goalless draw with Shakhtar Donetsk.
The home side have registered successive wins without conceding in the Portuguese top flight in their last two games and they can make it a third on the spin against Bologna, who have already lost to Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Monaco without scoring in this competition.
