Lille and Reims face each other this Tuesday for the 6th day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
Tenth in Ligue 1, Lille has the opportunity to make a nice jump in the standings this Tuesday evening. For this, the Mastiffs will have to negotiate this late match of the 6th day against Reims (kick-off at 9 p.m.). In the event of a victory against the Champagne club, LOSC could return to the foot of the top 5 behind Monaco.
“ We know it will be a difficult match, perhaps one of the most difficultwarned Paulo Fonseca, who will experience his 50th match on the LOSC bench. They have a lot of good players, they have made a big investment for this season. They also have a good coach. Tactically, I think it will be very interesting. He prepares his matches well, we saw it when they played against us. I expect a difficult match, it will be a real tactical battle. Physically, they are also one of the strongest teams in the championship. »
The Lille coach points to another obstacle: the quality of the pitch, while the Stade Pierre-Mauroy hosted Rugby World Cup matches. “I can’t say anything, although it’s difficult for us to play after a lot of rugby matches. The pitch is difficult, I think it will be again against Reims. The pitch is not in good shape after two matches. The pitch is very irregular, very difficult to place the game on. We will also adapt to playing three away matches in a row, but the main problem remains the state of the pitch. »
