Lille host Feyenoord with both sides vying for a spot in the Champions League's automatic qualification places.
Odds Now's Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has taken a closer look at the match-up to see where the best value lies.
Expect goals in Lille vs Feyenoord Champions League clash
Lille's home form has been superb so far in this competition.
Bruno Genesio's side are yet to taste defeat at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium, winning four and drawing one of their five contests there.
Having already beaten holders Real Madrid and held Juventus to a draw, it's perhaps a surprise to Lille come in at an odds-against 11/10 to win here.
That is largely due to the success Feyenoord have enjoyed on their travels.
The Dutch side are unbeaten across three away games so far in the Champions League, having picked up wins at both Girona and Benfica before fighting back from three goals down to earn a draw at Manchester City.

Remarkably, the point earned at the Etihad Stadium means Brian Priske's men have scored three goals in each of their away encounters.
Feyenoord's free-flowing attacking prowess has left them vulnerable at the back though, evident in the six goals conceded on away turf.
Combined with Lille's own impressive performance in front of goal, I'm going to edge in favour of the hosts in what should be an entertaining spectacle.
The French club have scored in every home game played in Europe so far, averaging a mighty 1.53 expected goals in the process.
Lille have also been tight at the back, averaging 0.8 goals conceded in home fixtures, but securing a third home clean sheet in the competition may be tough.
Only Barcelona (19) and Borussia Dortmund (18) have scored more than the visitors, who I'm going to back to land another glove on Lille before ultimately coming up short.
Getting the home win with both teams scoring at a generous 11/4 is a more than worthy punt for me.
