Lille face Valencia at Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Wednesday, Oct. 23. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
In Champions League Group H action, Lille host Valencia at Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Wednesday. Lille have lost their first two games of the tournament and are last in the group. Valencia are tied for second in the group with Chelsea.
Lille are seventh in Ligue 1 after dropping points in four of their past five games. The Great Danes lost 3-0 in their first Champions League game and then lost 2-1 to Chelsea in their second game. Despite the losses, Lille can get right back into the race for the knockout stage with a victory over Valencia. If the Great Danes are going to beat the Bats, they will need Victor Osimhen to find the back of the net. Osimhen is having a breakout season for Lille. The 20-year-old Nigerian striker leads the club with eight goals this season.
Valencia settled for 16 draws last season. Despite the high number of draws, the club was still able to finish fourth. Had they been able to win half of the games they drew last season, they would have finished with the same number of points as Barcelona, who won La Liga last season. Valencia have not learned their lesson about draws. This season, Valencia are eighth in La Liga after picking four draws in their first nine games.
In the Champions League, the Bats defeated Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge but were easily beaten 3-0 by Ajax in their second game. If Valencia are going to get out of the group stage for the first time since 2013, the club cannot afford to settle for draws.
