Lille knows its three opponents during the group stage of the Europa Conference League.
After having dismissed the Croats of Rijeka with difficulty during the last qualifying round, the Lille got to know this Friday with their opponents in the group stage of the C4.
A group within reach of LOSC
The lesson to be learned after the draw is that the Mastiffs leave as the big favorites of their pool. They had a bit of the assurance of being one because of their seeded status, and that was confirmed on paper.
Fonseca’s team will face Slovan Bratislava from Slovakia and Olimpja Ljubljana from Slovenia. Even if they are reference teams in their respective championships, it would be a huge surprise to see the Northerners being overtaken by one of these two teams. Not finishing first in the group would clearly be a failure.
Finally, the fourth opponent of LOSC will be a team from the Faroe Islands, in this case KI Klaksvik. It will be the first time that a French club will challenge a team from this modest nation. This also ensures an exotic move.
