Building on its good run in the Champions League, Lille welcomes Sturm Graz on Wednesday (6:45 p.m.) with the ambition of winning to almost secure a place in the play-offs, and even open a path to the eighth. Losc, twelfth, is part of a group of seven clubs with ten points, one less than the total allowing with certainty to go to the play-offs for accession to the eighth, according to Opta calculations.
Hard blow on the other hand for Losc, who will have to cope without their dribbler, Edon Zhegrova, left to rest because of pubic pain. Coach Bruno Genesio, however, records the return of Thomas Meunier, absent against Brest in Ligue 1.
