If the start of the season LOSC
is quite contrasting on the domestic scene, the results are much more flattering in the Europa League since Bruno Genesio's men are already at the top of the table after 2 consecutive victories, including a convincing success on the Roma pitch before the international break (1-0). Lille therefore hopes to make the pass of three to take a further step towards the top 8.
To do this, Olivier Giroud and his teammates will have to avoid the trap set by PAOK Salonika this Thursday (kick-off at 9 p.m.). An opponent that Bruno Genesio absolutely does not underestimate. “It’s a squad of very experienced players. I had one in Lyon (Dejan Lovren), another played 3 or 4 seasons in Lille (Soualiho Meité), a very very good Brazilian, Taison, and some good Greeks. We made a very good start with two successes but we haven't won anything yet. » The Mastiffs have been warned.
The expected compositions
Lille : Özer – Santos, Mbemba, Ngoy, Perraud – Mukau, Bentaleb, André – Haraldsson, Giroud, Fernandez-Pardo.
PAOK Salonika : Tsiftsis – Kenny, Kedziora, Lovren, Baba – Camara, Meïté – Zivkovic, Konstantelias, Taison – Giannoukis.
