Still as invincible on the European scene, LOSC must roll up their sleeves one last time before the break during a trip to the Allianz Riviera in Nice this Sunday.
Where and how to follow the meeting?
LOSC is preparing to conclude the third marathon of its season with a trip to the Côte d’Azur, in Nice, as part of the eleventh day of Ligue 1 McDonald’s. This meeting is a real revenge for the Mastiffs who had seen the Champions League pass them by on the gong, with the equalization of the Aiglons in the last moments in Lille (2-2). On a positive dynamic, i.e. nine consecutive matches without setbacks in all competitions, Bruno Genesio’s men undoubtedly wish to ward off bad luck.
This meeting, scheduled for this Sunday, November 10 at 3 p.m., will be broadcast on DAZN. As an alternative to this option, you can enjoy a friendly atmosphere between supporters at our partner restaurant / pub: At Office V2 located at 21 avenue Avenir at Heron Parc, 59650 Villeneuve d’Ascq.
The kick-off of this opposition will be given by
Jérémy Stinat (45 years old), eleventh best referee of the 2023-2024 season will be accompanied by François Boudikian et Julian Aube along the sidelines, as well as by Abdelatif Kherradji in the shoes of the 4th referee. Stéphanie Frappart et Mathieu Grosbost
will be responsible for providing video assistance to the refereeing. The French referee has not yet crossed paths with the Mastiffs this season and, during the previous year, had only refereed them once. It was at the start of the year during Lille’s victory in Reims (0-1). During his career, he met the Lille team six times for a record of three wins, two draws, one defeat and no red cards.
History of recent meetings
OGC Nice is experiencing a special season with the arrival of Franck Haise during the summer. Without counting the European scene, the Aiglons are gradually gaining strength, capable of defeating AS Monaco and Stade Brestois during their last two outings, despite being brilliant opponents in the Champions League. In a series of six matches without a setback in Ligue 1, the trend is much less positive in the Europa League, a competition in which two small points were gleaned in four days (two defeats, two draws). This Thursday again, the Azuréens were content with a draw when they received Twente (2-2). What face will they show this Sunday? That is the question!
However, OGC Nice is a historically tough opponent against the Mastiffs. As proof, his men have only lost one of their last twelve duels against Lille at home in the league (compared to five wins and six draws). The two teams very rarely manage to decide between themselves with 18 draws recorded over the last twenty years. No poster has any more over the period.

Summary of the last meeting
A little over a year ago, at the start of the 2023-2024 season, LOSC traveled to Nice to embark on a thrilling new exercise. This meeting kept all the observers in suspense with play, chances, and a few goals. The first was also scored by Gaëtan Laborde (18′) who deceived Lucas Chevalier on a stung ball in a face-to-face match. Paulo Fonseca’s men then chased the score, creating a multitude of situations without ever managing to hit the mark. Rémy Cabella had notably come up against Marcin Bulka several times. We had to count on a helmet hit from Bafodé Diakité to see LOSC equalize in the final moments of the match (90+3′). The Lille defender had been left alone in the area on a free kick hit by Angel Gomes and his achievement allowed the Mastiffs to snatch a point from the draw (1-1) on the Côte d’Azur.
