Greetings from the Kop d’Austerlitz, ready to follow a decisive evening for Lille
Welcome everyone to follow the live of what may be the last chance match for Lille. LOSC has so far not tasted the joys of victory in the Champions League this season, despite rather encouraging meetings. In particular the first match largely dominated without managing to score against Wolfsburg (0-0).
The second exit of the players of Gourvennec, ended in a defeat in Austria against Salzburg (2-1) brought back to the fore the lack of regularity of the northerner training, which is also reflected in the championship, with an 11th place . The teammates of Burak Yilmaz, Lille’s only scorer since the start of the competition, would be well advised to win to pass in front of their opponent and pick up on the leading teams. Winning it in C1, something the club has not done since November 2012.
Opposite, Sevilla FC is a team with two faces. Solid in the league where it occupies 3rd place with only one defeat in eight games, the Andalusian club displays certain weaknesses in the
competition. The partners of the French Jules Koundé made two rather happy draws, the first against Salzburg who missed two penalties in the game (1-1) and a second obtained at the very end of the game on the lawn of Wolfsburg (1-1) . The two teams have only a small point difference before the start of a meeting which could be more balanced than expected.
