Years pass and look alike. New European school year for Lille. The 7th surprise of the first round of the Champions League 2024-2025 welcomes the SK Brann on behalf of the first day of the Europa League, this Thursday afternoon.
The DOGUES tackle this match with a favorite status in the face of Norwegians, however in great shape in their domestic championship (3rd) who started … last March! The OPTA data and statistics specialist also sees Bruno Genesio's men qualify directly for the knockout stages with 50.14 % chance, and 8.1 % chance of winning the competition, which places the northern club in the top 4 teams to follow for the final victory this season.
It remains to be seen whether the statistics will have a real impact on this meeting. One thing is certain, the LOSC will be keen to wipe the poor performance of last weekend against Lens (3-0) with a victory at home.

Lille: Özer-Santos, Ngoy, Mandi (cap.), Verdonk-Bouaddi, Bentaleb-Fernandez-Pardo, Haraldon, Sahraoui-Igamane
