Lille, with ten main stage UCL appearances compared to Betis' two, bring more experience to the competition. Their strong performances this season set them up as favorites to win in Tuesday's match.

This is going to be the first head to head match between Lille and Real Betis.
Lille Looking Great Under Ancelotti
Lille appointed Davide Ancelotti as their new head manager earlier this summer, and so far their results have been good in the new campaign.
Les Dogues won their opening Ligue 1 match against Angers 2-0, veteran Olivier Giround breaking the deadlock early, while Tiago Santos set the final score.
They were a couple of minutes away from beating PSG in the second round, entering stoppage time with a 2-0 lead but shockingly conceded twice. Last weekend, Ancelotti's side returned to winning ways with a 1-0 win at Toulouse.
Real Betis Enter This Clash as Underdogs
This is the second time in Real Betis' history to reach the UCL main stage, the first one being in 2005. They secured a spot after finishing 5th in La Liga last season.
Manuel Pellegrini's side kicked things off with two league 1-0 victories against Real Sociedad and Valencia, followed by a surprising 5-2 road loss to Levante.
They hosted Real Madrid on Friday, had 0.93-3.46 expected goals and 10-20 shots, but still were lucky to take a huge 1-0 victory. Troy Parrott was the hero with his late goal.

Verdict
Lille are more experienced than Betis when it comes to UCL appearances (played in main stage ten times, the Spanish side just twice) and their results are great this season. I am backing Les Dogues to collect three points on Tuesday.
