The “Dogs” have not started well in the new season of Ligue 1 and currently sit in fifth place in the standings. In six rounds, the team has already suffered two losses. While the defeat at home to PSG surprised few, dropping points in the away match against Saint-Étienne certainly was not part of the coaching staff’s plans.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Lille traveled to Lisbon, where they lost 0-2 to Sporting. After that match, the “Dogs” played two games in the league. Their home game against Strasbourg ended in a 3-3 draw, while their away match against Le Havre was successful, resulting in a 3-0 victory.
The “Whites” are rightfully considered the favorites of the tournament, which is not surprising for a team with such a number of victories in the world’s top club competition. Carlo Ancelotti’s team approaches the match against Lille after a Madrid derby. Last Sunday, Real visited Atlético and allowed their opponents to escape defeat, conceding an equalizer in the 90+5 minute.
Overall, the “Blancos” have drawn three times in the first eight matches, taking advantage of which Barcelona now sits at the top of the standings, leading their rivals by three points. The gap would be larger if it weren’t for Barcelona’s humiliating loss to Osasuna. In their first Champions League match, Real hosted Stuttgart in Madrid and won 3-1.
