Preview: Celta Vigo vs Lille Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Europa League 2025-26

Both of these clubs have won three of their six games in the European competition this season.

Celta Vigo are all set to host Lille OSC for their round 7 league phase contest of the 2025-26 UEFA Europa League. This will be an entertaining outing between these clubs, taking place at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos.

Os Celestes will be at home and it is going to be one of the advantages for them. They have performed really well in their last three matches and will be looking to continue their winning run. Celta de Vigo have lost both of their last two UEL games and will now be eager to return to winning ways in the tournament.

LOSC Lille will be under pressure due to their recent performances. They have faced back-to-back defeats in their last three games and this will keep their confidence levels on the negative side. The Mastiffs will be looking to come up with a strong fight for the hosts, but it is not going to be an easy fixture for them.
