Back with Champions League group stage. Game between previous France champion, LOSC & German team of Wolsburg.

Lille will be with 3 important players : Jonathna Bamba, Timothy Weah & Renato Sanches who is a big key player in their midfield.

Here we can see how much he is important with the number of passes he is doing, it means most of Lille’s tactic is based around him.

On the heat map we can see his importance about the fact that he plays on the whole midfield, calling the ball on the side to change the play.

Wolfsburg on their side will be without Otavio, Balek & Schlager. Only Schlager is a usual starter but not a top player so they can easily replace him.

I don’t understand how Lille is that much favorite, of course they have the tittle to be the France champion but even if they played well last season with Yilmaz on fire, very strong young player Jonathan David, other turkish Yazici performing great. It was more PSG who wasted a lot of points because they didn’t manage it well with European competition.

Lille lost their amazing goalkeeper Mike Maignan who was doing an insane work.

We can see only on the stats how he was important. Less than 1 goal conceded per game.

The big fact who changes completely Lille from last season and Lille from this season is that they changed their coach, Christophe Galtier who left to Nice, he was really the man who led them to perform like that, we can see since the change that Lille is in big trouble, they won only one game in 5 games.

When they faced Nice, their ex coach, they lost 0-4, it showed how they will be this seaosn and that they are very limited.

They replaced him by Gouvernnec who is really not a good coach and most of fans were very unhappy about that change.

On their side Wolsburg is doing great in this early of season with 4 wins in 4 games, their striker Weghorst is on fire, very efficient, he scored on last game and made one assist.

Young offensive player Nmecha is also doing great this season with Wolsburg, he scored already 3 goals in 5 games and he was only starter on two games.

Main problem of Wolsburg is like most of German team, the weakness defensivley but this weakness is compensated by their powerful offensively.

It will be a difficult game because LOSC is playing at home but clearly Wolsburg is the stronger team here, Draw No Bet is the best option and the best value.
