The
Lille OSC wants to confirm his good rhythm in the group stage of the
Europa League, when he plays at home against the
Genoa FC on Thursday. The team around
Rio Mavuba or
Robert Vittek made four points in the first two games, that's why the French are the leaders. Especially the performance of the Dogues, as they are named, in Prague has intensified their ambitions, because they won 5:1. Before they had made a draw of 1:1 against the Valencia FC at the beginning of the competition.
But the Genoa FC is a good team and one of the best in Italy. Even after they lost 0:5 against Inter Milan on the last match day in the national championship the club has one of the strongest offensives in the Serie A. A reason, why the Italians are one of the favorites in this
group B.
The objective of the Lille OSC is to win or to reach one point. That would allow the Dogues to distance the Genoan and to make really interesting the finish of the competition. On Saturday, they have played 0:0 against the Stade Rennois, that's also a fact why the team of coach
Rudi Garcia is only on the 15th position in the french championship. But in the Europa League they did a better job till this moment...
