After its historic victories against Real and Atlético de Madrid, after having held the great Juventus Turin in check, who can possibly bring down Losc? Certainly not the modest Sturm Graz, Bruno Genesio’s men are probably saying to themselves as they embark on the 6th day of the Champions League league phase.
Undefeated in all competitions for almost three months and their inaugural defeat in C1 against Sporting Lisbon, Jonathan David’s partners have more points than Manchester City, AC Milan or Bayern Munich. Without insulting him, it is difficult to see last season’s Austrian champion – a title acquired under the nose of Red Bull Salzburg, all the same – bringing down these Mastiffs.
Lille have the weapons to win and assert themselves a little more in the race for the top 8. Losc is only separated from the directly qualifying places for the round of 16 on goal difference, at the start of sending of this day. It will probably be easier to get closer with the reception of the Austrians rather than by moving on the lawn of the European leader, Liverpool, during the next lifting (January 21).
The kickoff of the match between Lille and Sturm Graz is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. this Wednesday, December 11. The match will be followed on Canal + Foot.
