If Stade Brestois has caused a sensation since the start of this European campaign, Lille has also been the talk of the town. Winners against the two Madrid clubs, then after obtaining a draw at Juventus, the Northerners placed 14the of this Champions League. In Italy, the Mastiffs face Bologna, an opponent well within their reach.
A step towards qualification in the event of victory?
With 7 points taken in four matches, Lille must continue their momentum to finish in the top 24. This trip to Bologna can be a first step, especially before the reception of Sturm Graz, an affordable match. Bruno Genesio's men arrive in Italy in good shape with a consistent invincible streak. Jonathan David's teammates have not lost in all competitions since the first day of the Champions League against Sporting (2-0), and remain in 11 matches without a setback. Despite a more than busy schedule against the big leagues of Ligue 1 and Europe, Lille seems unstoppable.
Bologna has not had an easy schedule. Apart from the draw obtained against Shaktar, the Italians lost against Liverpool, Aston Villa and Monaco. This is another big meeting to come for a club which will have to try to resist against the unleashed Mastiffs.
