Arsenal vs Lille prediction: over 2.5 and the best odds
Arsenal v 
Lille
Result: right. The call was over 2.5 goals; the match ended 3-0. Every call so far.
Arsenal are strong favourites at 1.24, with kick-off at 20:00 WAT at Emirates Stadium. You need to weigh the absences on both sides before anything else.
Arsenal are without P. Hincapie, W. Saliba, C. Tzolis and M. Zubimendi. Hincapie has an ankle injury and Saliba has a back injury. Tzolis has a hamstring injury and Zubimendi has a knock.
C. Mosquera is a doubt with a muscle injury.
Lille are without H. Igamane, T. Santos and E. Mbappe. Igamane has a knee injury and Santos has a knee injury. Mbappe is out after a red card.
I have no detail on who replaces any of them.

| Outcome | Price at 1xBet Nigeria | Chance the price gives | Price without the cut |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home | 1.23 | 81.2% | 1.25 |
| Draw | 7.06 | 14.2% | 7.18 |
| Away | 16.00 | 6.2% | 16.26 |
My read: over 2.5 goals. The bookmakers’ prices put it at 62% with the cut removed, and six of the ten games in those lists had three goals or more. Do not bet more than you can afford to lose.
