Three matches, three shocks. The Europa League resumes its rights this Thursday, and reserves French clubs confrontations more perilous than it seems. First, there are the good students Lyon and Lille. OL, 5th with two victories in as many matches, hosts FC Basel of Xherdan Shaqiri, reigning champion and current second in the Swiss championship.
On the Losc side, 7th with the same record as Les Gones, beware of the trap. Despite a prestigious victory on the AS Roma pitch on the last day (0-1), be careful not to underestimate PAOK Salonika, first in the Greek championship. Even if diminished by a few injuries, the Thessaloniki club remains on two victories in a row in the Superleague, against AEK Athens (0-2) and Olympiakos (2-1).
Finally, there is the bad student from Nice. In the soft underbelly in Ligue 1 despite the recent success against Lyon on Saturday (3-2), the Aiglons are not making it in the Europa League. Franck Haise's men are 31st with zero points. Today's opponent, Celta Vigo, is much better with a 13th place.
