As part of the fourth day of the Champions League regular season, LOSC hosts Juventus. The fever of the most beautiful European competition takes hold of Lille.
Where and how to follow the meeting?
LOSC are looking for a third consecutive Champions League scalp and the fourth day of their league phase could be a great opportunity as Juventus travel to the North of France to rebuild after a defeat suffered at home, against VfB Stuttgart. The Dogues quickly recovered from an inaugural setback on the lawn of Sporting CP (2-0) by beating Real (1-0) then Atlético de Madrid (1-3). Can they achieve a third feat? Answer this Tuesday with the kick-off scheduled for 9 p.m. in the heart of the incandescent atmosphere of the Decathlon Arena – Stade Pierre Mauroy.

History of recent meetings
Juventus Turin has alternated between good and bad on the European scene. She first beat PSV Eindhoven (3-1) in Turin, then won (3-2) in Leipzig with ten men, but lost at home to Stuttgart (0-1), who scored the only goal of injury time moments after Danilo's red card. LOSC and the Old Lady have never faced each other in their history, but this is not their first French opponent.
The Bianconeri last faced French opposition in the Europa League knockout play-offs of the 2022/23 season, beating Nantes 4-1 on aggregate (1-1, 3-0) to end a series of three games without a win against a Ligue 1 club (1 draw, 2 defeats). Juventus won three of their first ten matches in France (D2, L5) and four of the next seven (D1, L2). This is his 24th appearance in the Champions League, a record in Italy with three editions more than AC Milan.

Summary of the last meeting
In a stadium in Friuli where only Inter Milan had managed to win this season, Juventus Turin returned to success last Saturday against Udinese (0-2). Before achieving this performance, they remained in three consecutive matches without a victory, including a defeat in the Champions League when they hosted VfB Stuttgart.
Far from being satisfied, the fault of this bad series, Thiago Motta's men showed a certain aggressiveness to destabilize the opposing block and suffice to say that it quickly hit the mark. Author of a recovery in the fifth minute, Képhren Thuram made up for it a few moments later with a small bridge then a cross strike to conclude a perfect collective action (19'). It still took a bit of luck as the leather hit the post then hit the back of the home goalkeeper to actually cross the line. Under the impetus of a high recovery from the Frenchman, the Old Lady doubled the lead before the break (37′) through Nicolo Savona. Solid defensively, much more so than in their last two outings during which they conceded six pawns, the Bianconeri pocketed a precious success (0-2) at the dawn of a trip to Lille.
