Does Bruno Génésio still have the recipe to destroy the hopes of ambitious people? After beating Real Madrid (1-0), then returning from Madrid with the victory over Atlético (3-1), Lille hosts Juventus, Tuesday November 5 (9 p.m.), during the 4th day of the Champions League. A match which can swing the destiny of the Northerners in the good part of the table.
An invincibility to pursue. Undefeated in all competitions since their first match in the competition against Sporting on September 17, Lille intends to continue their series of eight matches without defeat. But the draw conceded Friday at home against Lyon in added time is a call to order.
Jonathan David as number 1 asset. By scoring a double in Madrid and the goal against Lyon, Jonathan David confirmed the weight he weighs on Losc's offensive performance. With seven goals in Ligue 1 (second top scorer) and five since the start of Lille's European journey, the Canadian has scored just under half of all his team's goals since the start of the season. An advantage against a team which has just conceded seven goals in its last four matches, compared to four in the first 10.
Juventus revenge. Since the start of the season, Thiago Motta's team has only lost one match. After a chaotic month of October (two wins in six games) since the injury of its Brazilian defender Gleison Bremer, and a setback at home (1-0) against Stuttgart in the Champions League, Juve returned to forward momentum on Saturday, by winning in Udine (2-0) in the championship. A new beginning or a simple start with no future?
