Arsenal vs Lille UEFA Champions League Tips & Prediction
Arsenal are tipped to continue their dominant home form in the Champions League and keep a clean sheet in victory over Lille on Matchday 2 at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
The Gunners haven't been at their best in their last two outings, suffering a crushing 3-0 defeat to Brighton before the break and being forced to come from behind to edge out an impressive Leeds outfit 2-1 at the weekend.
However, this shapes as a good spot for Mikel Arteta's side to regain their mojo.
Arsenal have won 15 of their last 16 home games in the UCL group/league phase and Lille aren't expected to offer much of a challenge having lost their last seven meetings with English opposition.
Expect Arsenal to control proceedings and ease to a win to nil.

Arsenal Form Analysis
Arsenal were flying with six straight wins in all competitions before running into a red-hot Brighton side before the international break.
It was a nightmare day in the South of England, with Arsenal suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat.
The Gunners returned to action at the weekend with a 2-1 victory over Leeds, but they were forced to come from behind as Riccardo Califiori and Bruno Guimaraes netted second-half goals. It was a tough game, with Leeds arguably the better side for the opening 60 minutes before Arsenal clicked into gear.
Arteta's side were 1-0 winners over Napoli on Matchday 1, but it should have been a bigger victory after Arsenal generated a whopping 4.05 xG.

Piero Hincapie looks set to join Christos Tzolis (hamstring) and William Saliba (back) in the casualty ward after being carried off with an ankle injury in the win over Leeds.

Lille Form Analysis
Solid start to the Ligue 1 season for Lille - they are one point behind leaders Monaco after winning four of their six games.
However, the French side start the Champions League on the back foot following their 3-2 Matchday 1 defeat at home to Betis.
Lille have taken six points from their last three Ligue 1 outings, including a most-recent 1-0 victory over Le Havre on the weekend, with Dilane Bakwa scoring the winner.
Davide Ancelotti's will have to overcome a horror record vs English teams to cause a huge boilover in London, with their last such win coming in the 2002 Intertoto Cup against Aston Villa.
Lille Team News
Ethan Mbappe's red card against Betis means he's suspended for this one, but he's injured with an ankle problem anyway.
Tiago Santos was stretchered off with a knee injury in the win over Le Havre and joins Hamza Igamane (ACL) on the sidelines.
It's a big moment for 40-year-old Olivier Giroud, who could feature against his former club.
Lille Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Berke Ozer; Adeagan Goffi, Tanguy Nianzou, Alexsandro, Romain Perraud; Nabil Bentaleb, Maurits Kjaergaard; Dilane Bakwa, Ngalayel Mukau, Gaetan Perrin; Olivier Giroud
Verdict
