When we have already taken the scalps of Real Madrid (1-0) and Atlético de Madrid (1-3), when we have already stood up to Juventus Turin (1-1), we feel at ease. pretty much capable of anything. When it comes time to take to the Bologna pitch on Wednesday evening for the 5th day of the Champions League, LOSC has quite a wind at its back.
Bruno Genesio's men have had a string of successes on the European scene and will try to assert themselves a little more in the race for qualifying places for the play-offs. Before dreaming of better? Undefeated in all competitions for more than two months and their inaugural defeat in C1 against Sporting Lisbon, the Mastiffs are fourteenth in the league, just two units from the top 8.
The Italians have still not had success in the competition and remain with a narrow defeat against another French club, Monaco (0-1), on the last day. Thirty-first, Bologna can't do it and it's hard to imagine Thiago Motta's former team doing well against attractive Lille.
The Bologna-Lille kick-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. this Wednesday, November 27. The match will be watched on television on Canal + Foot.
