Valencia
Injury Concern: Piccini (knee), Guedes (foot), Coquelin (muscle), Rodrigo (adductor)
Predicted XI: Cillessen; Wass, Garay, Gabriel, Costa; Torres, Kondogbia, Parejo, Cheryshev; Gameiro, Gómez
Valencia could not build on their victory over Chelsea on matchday 1 as they were heavily defeated by Ajax in their second game. The Spaniards have several doubts heading into this contest with Guedes, Coquelin and Rodrigo among those battling to be fit. Maxi Gomez is likely to lead the line for Valencia with Rodrigo set to miss out although Gameiro will likely come back into the starting XI.
Lille
Injury Concern: Weah (match fitness), Sanches (thigh), Çelik (ankle)
Predicted XI: Maignan; Zeki Çelik/Pied, Fonte, Gabriel, Bradarić; André, Soumaré; Araújo, Ikoné, Bamba; Osimhen
Lille made it a real contest against Chelsea on matchday two but the French side ultimately fell to a second consecutive defeat. They now have an uphill task to qualify for the knockout stages and will continue to be without Timothy Weah who is still out injured. In a boost for the French outfit, they will be able to call upon midfielder Benjamin Andre who is available after serving a domestic ban.
