Lille must react in the European Cup, this Thursday (6.45 p.m., RMC Découverte and Sport 1), after its disappointment in Birmingham during the first round of this Europa Conference League. Aston Villa is the favorite in this double confrontation, but also in the race for final victory.
The qualifying team will face either Fenerbahçe or Olympiakos in the semi-finals of the competition on May 2. Edon Zhegrova will be greatly missed by his team against Aston Villa. The Dogues' best offensive asset was forced to withdraw from this match, but should quickly return to the competition, as indicated by his coach, Paulo Fonseca. He has never lost with the capital club (5 matches, 5 victories) against Villa, who are fourth in the Premier League and have just slowed down Arsenal in their final sprint towards the title. And it must be said that the former PSG coach is no stranger to the success of his team and its historic season.
