CEL vs LIL Dream11 Prediction: Celtic host Lille in the Europa League on Thursday night looking to end a run of five matches in all competitions without a victory. It has proven to be a dismal UEFA Europa League group stage campaign for Celtic, who sit rock bottom of Group H with one point and their hopes of reaching the knockout stage well and truly over. Here they host Lille, with the French side desperate for victory to guarantee themselves as Group H winners over AC Milan. Lille remain unbeaten in the group stage with three wins and two draws in their five games. However, they may find this trickier than it appears on paper, as the Celtic supporters will be desperate for their side to give them something to cheer about in what is turning out to be a challenging season both domestically and in Europe. Let’s take a look at CEL vs LIL Dream11 Team prediction now.
