Lille’s recent 3-0 win over Le Havre in Ligue 1 was their first victory in over a month, a period that also included their 2-0 defeat to Sporting CP on Champions League matchday one. The French side faces an even greater challenge now as reigning European champions Real Madrid visit for their first-ever head-to-head clash.

Real Madrid may not have displayed their usual fluency this season, but their unbeaten streak of eight games (W6, D2) is a testament to their strength. On Saturday, they came from behind to secure a 4-1 win over Espanyol, with Carlo Ancelotti noting his team's improvement.

Real Madrid come into this fixture unbeaten after five LaLiga games (W3, D2), but two draws have left them four points behind Barcelona. Despite the gap, their defense has been solid, with back-to-back 2-0 league wins, continuing a trend of winning by multi-goal margins without conceding. In midweek, they secured a 3-1 home victory over Stuttgart in the Champions League, and Madrid have shown no signs of slowing down in matches following European commitments, winning their last five such games—four of them without allowing a goal.

Real Madrid, the reigning UEFA Champions League champions, kick off their 2024/25 campaign with a match against Stuttgart. Last season, Madrid was unbeaten against Bundesliga teams, including a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the UCL final to secure their 15th European title.
