Lille host Slavia Prague in the first leg of the Champions League play-off on Tuesday (9pm). Here’s all the essential information on the match.
Lille
is just one round away from the prestigious Champions League. After defeating José Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe, LOSC must avoid the trap set by Slavia Prague to reach the first phase of the new tournament format. For this first leg, Bruno Genesio will be without Umtiti, Fernandes, Bentaleb, Zedadka and his new recruit Mandi.
But the LOSC coach has confidence in his troops.
“There is a lot of character in this team. We can finish the match at Fener with young players, it shows a collective strength and a lot of character, he explained. It comes down to very little things and the reading of our start to the season could have been different. These are two very important matches for the club, whether sporting or financial, especially in view of the context of French football.” The tone is set.

Lille: Chevalier – Meunier, Diakité, Alexsandro – Tiago Santos, André (c), Mukau, Gudmundsson – Zhegrova, David, Haraldsson.
