Lille host Brann in a Europa League match. The hosts are showing confident play in the French league, sitting high in the table thanks to a powerful attack – 13 goals in four matches. A crushing 7-1 victory over Lorient demonstrated their enormous attacking potential, but they still lost 3-0 away to Lens in their last match.
The Norwegian visitors are also in good form, having won three games in a row, including a Europa League qualifier. However, the level of Brann's opponents is significantly lower than in the French league. The Norwegians could face a significant advantage in terms of class and physical fitness.
Lille's home stadium, where the team has consistently performed, will be a key factor. Their experience in European competitions and the higher level of the league give the French a clear advantage.
