After OGC Nice, it's Lille's turn to enter the fray in this phase of the Europa League. For its debut, the Lille club will face SK Brann at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Thursday. Currently sitting in fifth place in Ligue 1, Les Dogues have just taken a big blow before making their European debut. They suffered a heavy defeat in the northern derby against RC Lens (3-0). A reaction is expected from Bruno Génésio's team, and our prediction is in line with that.
SK Brann is likely to arrive in France without any pressure. They are well aware that they are not the favorites for this match. Nevertheless, Lillle will have to be wary of this team. The Norwegian club is in the thick of the battle for the Eliteserien title. It is in third place in the standings, six points behind the leader, but with one game in hand. In good form in recent weeks, Freyr Alexandersson's men will do everything they can to cause an upset on Thursday.
