Fourth in the last Ligue 1 season, Lille must go through two preliminary rounds to hope to reach the final phase of the Champions League. The Dogues will face their first obstacle this Tuesday against Fenerbahçe.
The task of the Northerners will not be easy against the Turkish vice-champion. Under the leadership of José Mourinho, their new coach, the Canaries are determined to go far in the event. And they proved it by knocking out Lugano in the previous round.
Lille weakened against the Turks
Lille will not be at full strength for this confrontation. While they can still count on their striker Jonathan David, they will have to, however, do without Nabil Bentaleb, who is expected to end his career, and also without Ismaily and Umtiti who are injured.
If they overcome this obstacle, Bruno Genésio’s men will face the winner of the duel between Slavia Prague and Union Saint-Gilloise in the next round.
