Top two teams in UEFA Europa League Group H look to separate from pack on Match Day 2

The two teams at the top of the table after one game in UEFA Europa League Group H, Lille and Milan, are both off to hot starts to the 2020-21 season.

Each is either at the top of its domestic league (Milan) or tied on points at the top (Lille), and both can put six points between the two chasing teams with wins today.

That will be important, as the two teams will clash on Match Day 3 and 4, while Celtic and Sparta Prague battle to get back into the group.

Look for both favorites to win today.
