How the crowd called it

Why we called it

Lille are unbeaten in Ligue 1 with a 2-2 draw against PSG and a 2-0 win over Angers, Giroud leading the line with three assists, though they lost Bouaddi and Fernandez-Pardo in the window. Betis just beat Real Madrid 1-0 but are without Lo Celso, Abde, Ruibal and Conde and may lose Llorente after his injury, with Isco and Antony carrying the attack. No clear favourite in the previews, so a coin-flip: 1-1.
