This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Lille at Stade Pierre-Mauroy when the Champions League tournament arrives in town and Salzburg with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's quite the trip for Salzburg when visiting Lille as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Lille form and stats
Last season, Lille's Champions League journey ended in the group stage.The overall Ligue 1 results at home this season for Lille are 3-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). 1W-2D-1L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Champions League for Lille. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Lille travelled for their previous game, a trip to Monaco that ended 2-2. Opportunity lost for Lille in the Monaco match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. Tiago Djaló, defender, was given a rating of 8.13/10 in that game, top of the team. Djaló served one assist, hit one key pass and won 5 of 8 duels.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Angers SCO that ended 1-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Lille perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lille as a small favourite), we find two games. Lille has won one of these, drawn zero and lost one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Lille as they have a new game in only four days, a Ligue 1 match thankfully also at home. Nantes are visiting.
The Lille fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. 8 goals have been conceded.
Salzburg form and stats
Salzburg's mission in Champions League last season failed in the group stage.The strength of Salzburg on their travels this season is incredible with 20 points collected from 8 Tipico Bundesliga away games. Salzburg has 6-2-0 on the road, with 14 goals scored and 5 conceded. Total Champions League statistics for Salzburg: 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In general it has been a productive period now for Salzburg as they haven't lost any of their last 21 games.
Salzburg have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Philipp Köhn. It's been 180 minutes since they last conceded in Tipico Bundesliga.
Salzburg played 0-0 against Admira in their previous match. Mohamed Camara got a match rating of 8.23 in that game, top player of the team. Camara hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 7 of 7 times and had 91 successful passes (of 96 total).
Preceding that game was the away Tipico Bundesliga victory against Austria Wien with the score of 1-0.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Salzburg in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Salzburg, zero draws and three defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Salzburg manager M. Jaissle as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Austria Klagenfurt.
Salzburg are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 14 times in 8 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Salzburg as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
