The team finished last season in fourth place in the Ligue 1 standings. They missed out on third place and automatic qualification for the UEFA Champions League by just two points. In 34 matches of the previous season, the team accumulated 59 points. Lille last competed in the Champions League in the 2021/22 season. To note, Lille won the Ligue 1 title in the 2020/21 season, which qualified them for the Champions League. That season, Lille reached the knockout stage but lost to Chelsea 1-4 on aggregate.
During their preparation for the current season, Lille played six friendly matches. The French team won three, drew two, and lost one. Additionally, Lille lost a young defender in this transfer window. 18-year-old Lenny Yoro moved to Manchester United, which will likely impact Lille as they need to reconfigure their defensive setup.
Unlike the French team, Fenerbahçe has already advanced through one round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. They defeated Swiss representative Lugano with an aggregate score of 6-4. Fenerbahçe finished last season in second place with 99 points, just three points behind the champions. Before the start of the current season, the club appointed a new manager.
Legendary coach José Mourinho has taken charge of Fenerbahçe. Regarding their preparation for the official season, Fenerbahçe played five friendlies, winning three, losing one, and drawing one. Additionally, Fenerbahçe will play their first match of the Turkish Super Lig on August 10, just a few days later.
