Thursday’s early kickoff in the Europa League will see Lille face off against Brann at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. This is the first time that Les Dogues and Bergens Stolthet will meet in a competitive matchup. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After finishing in fifth place in Ligue 1 last season, Lille missed out on Champions League qualification and will now be featuring in the Europa League for the first time since 2020-21.
Les Nordistes were one of the standout teams during the League Phase of the Champions League last season, finishing the group stage in eighth place before losing to Dortmund in the last 16.
The hosts suffered their first loss of the season this past weekend away to Lens 3-0. However, they are unbeaten in their last six home games across all competitions, with five of those ending in victory.
Meanwhile, Brann ended as Eliteserien runners-up, which earned them a spot in this season's UCL qualifiers, but they suffered elimination in the first round against RB Salzburg.
However, the Reds were much better during qualifying for this competition, beating Hacken and AEK Larnaca 2-1 and 6-1, respectively. This is their first Europa League main draw appearance since 2007-08.
The visitors enter this match in good form, having beaten Sandefjord 3-0 over the weekend to extend their unbeaten run to six matches across all competitions (W5 D1 L0).
