Aston Villa vs Lille Betting Odds
7bet offers competitive betting odds for all Europa League matches, including this fixture.
Please note that the odds mentioned below are accurate as of the publishing time of the article.
1X2 Odds
| Aston Villa (1) | X | LOSC Lille (2) |
| 5/8 | 14/5 | 15/4 |
This is one of the most common markets in football betting. Bettors can pick one out of three possible outcomes:
- 1: Home team (Aston Villa) wins
- X: Draw
- 2: Away team (LOSC Lille) wins
If your chosen outcome is successful, your bet pays out based on the odds provided by the bookmaker. UK sportsbooks use fractional odds, where the denominator indicates the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return.
If you examine the Aston Villa vs Lille betting odds in the 1X2 market, the odds are 5/8 for Aston Villa, 15/4 for Lille, and 14/5 for a draw. In fractional odds, the denominator is the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return. This means a successful bet on Aston Villa will pay £5 for every £8. Correctly predicting Lille’s win at 15/4 odds will pay £15 for every £4, and a draw pays £14 for every £5. Stakes on winning bets are also refunded.
Upon simplifying the odds, bets on Villa pay £0.62, while bets on Lille pay £3.75. This means bookmakers consider Vill to be stronger in this fixture, which is why it pays a low return. When an outcome is considered more likely, it is given “short” odds. On the other hand, teams with a low chance of winning are given “long” odds, which pay more.
However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bet on Lille. Odds don’t affect the actual outcome. Research both teams’ form before placing your bets. You can also consider safer markets like Double Chance or Handicap for a favourable return.
Double Chance
| Aston Villa or Draw | Aston Villa or Lille | Draw or Lille |
| 3/17 | 3/13 | 1/1 |
Double Chance is a variation of the 1X2 market. Bettors can pick two out of three outcomes simultaneously:
- Aston Villa or Draw (1X): This bet loses if Lille wins.
- Aston Villa or Lille (12): Loses if the game ends in a draw.
- Draw or Lille (X2): This bet loses if Aston Villa wins.
Consider this market if you believe we’ll see a tightly contested game on Thursday, and predicting a result may be difficult.
Your probability of winning in Double Chance is higher than 1X2, since you get to pick more options. But this also means that your payout will be lower, as your chances of winning are higher. You have a 66% probability of winning in this market (betting on 2 out of 3 outcomes) compared to 1X2’s 33%.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Aston Villa (-0.75) | Lille (+0.75) |
| 7/9 | 9/10 |
| Aston Villa (+0) | Lille(-0) |
| 4/15 | 7/3 |
| Aston Villa (-1) | Lille (+1) |
| 21/20 | 4/6 |
A handicap bet is designed to give an advantage to your chosen team and a similar disadvantage to the other team. For example, you award a +1 advantage to Lille. This means 1 point will be added to their final goal tally. Similarly, 1 point will be taken away from Aston Villa. So, if the match ends 2–1, the handicap adjusted score will be read as 1–2.
Adding a handicap ensures your chosen team gets a head start. However, it is important to consider the goal difference when selecting a handicap. The bigger the handicap, the bigger the goal margin needs to be for the other team to overcome the gap.
Here are a few examples of how your bet will pay out with different handicaps:
- Aston Villa (+0) / Lille (-0): This is similar to Draw No Bet, where your wager is returned in case of a draw.
- Aston Villa (-0.75) / Lille (+0.75): Bets on Lille win if they win, draw, or lose by one goal, as a score of 1–0 will be adjusted to 0.25–0.75. Villa will need to win by a two-goal margin to beat the handicap.
- Aston Villa (-1) / Lille (+1): Lille gets a one-goal advantage. For example, a score of 1–0 will be adjusted as 0–1. A two-goal margin will lead to a draw (2–0 becomes 1–1). Villa will need to win with a three-goal margin to overcome the gap (3–0 becomes 2–1).

Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 5/6 | 5/6 |
Consider the clean sheets (when the opposition team’s score is zero) for both teams in this market. Aston Villa kept two clean sheets in their last 10 matches, while Lille kept four.
These statistics will help you decide how to pick the Aston Villa vs Lille odds in the BTTS market. The higher the clean sheets, the higher the chances for BTTS No bets.
Choose BTTS “Yes” if you believe that the score will be at least 1–1 or higher, meaning both teams will score at least once. Choose the “No” bet if you think either one or both teams will keep a clean sheet on Thursday.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 4/5 | 9/10 |
For this fixture, the default betting line is set at Over/Under 2.5, and the goal total can be adjusted between Over/Under 1 and 4.
In the above example, an Over 2.5 bet pays if the combined goal total is three or higher. An Under 2.5 bet pays if the combined goal total is two or lower. For example, scores like 2–1, 2–2, 3–0, etc., will pay out for the Over 2.5 bet. Similarly, scores like 0–2, 0–0, 2–0, 1–1 will pay out for an Under 2.5 bet.
Aston Villa averaged 1.0 goals in their last 10 matches. Lille averaged 0.8 goals in the same period. This brings their average combined goal total to 1.8, which is under the 2.5 betting line. Use this data when considering the Aston Villa vs Lille odds in the Over/Under market.
Correct Score Odds
| Correct Score | Aston Villa vs Lille Odds |

| 1–1 | 6/1 |
| 0–1 | 11/1 |
| 2–0 | 6/1 |

In the Correct Score market, bettors need to predict the precise final score. This can be a difficult market to bet on as it involves risk and guesswork. You can adjust the betting line between 0 and +5 goals for both teams on our page, as per your analysis, to select the final score. We suggest betting only small amounts here due to the risk.
