On the way to the group stage of the
UEFA Europa League, the
OSC Lille is already in a good position, after the victory (2:1) against
Racing Genk in the away game of the play off round last Thursday. This result should bring a lot of confidence to the team of coach
Rudi Garcia, who is playing very succesfully in this European competition. In the French championship the players around the two scorers of the first leg in Belgium
Stéphane Dumont and
Robert Vittek are still waiting on their first victory.
After two defeats and the 1:1 against Toulouse in the third round of the Ligue 1 on Sunday evening, the OSC Lille ranks on the 16th place. But the team is on a good way in the qualification to the main stage. Before this success in Genk, the fifth of the last season has eliminated Sarajevo without any problems - 2:0, 2:0.
Thursday evening, the players of coach Rudi Garcia also want to succeed in the return match. Because the qualification for the group stage would bring them the chance, to present themselves longer in an European tournament. If the Belgians want the same, they have to show a better performance than the other day, as they scored only one goal by
Daniel Tözser. At least, they have won their first game in the fourth round of the national championship on Sunday - 1:0 at Waterlo.
