Lille vs NK Olimpija Ljubljana: UEFA Europa Conference League Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

The Europa Conference League is set to make its return on Wednesday evening, as Lille, a French team, hosts NK Olimpija Ljubljana, a Slovenian side, at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in their first group-stage match. Both teams are eager to begin their journey in Group A, which also features the underdog teams KI Klaksvik from the Faroe Islands and Slovan Bratislava from Slovakia. After a year-long absence from European competition, Lille managed to secure a place in this season’s Europa Conference League group stage by narrowly defeating Rijeka 3-2 on aggregate in the playoff round. Jonathan David scored the decisive goal in extra time of the second leg.

Lille has not yet showcased outstanding performances this season, gathering eight points from their initial five Ligue 1 fixtures. In their most recent match, they surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against Rennes. Paulo Fonseca, the manager, believed his team did not deserve to drop points after a strong showing against Rennes and expressed confidence in the team’s future as they face a busy fixture schedule in various competitions. Lille enters the match against Olimpija with confidence, having maintained an impressive 21-game unbeaten streak at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. During this run, they won 17 matches and scored at least two goals in 15 of them.

Olimpija faces a challenging task in ending Lille’s unbeaten home streak, especially considering their disappointing results in European competition this season. They suffered defeats in both the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers against Galatasaray and Qarabag, respectively. Olimpija aim to translate their strong domestic form onto the European stage, having won five of their first seven games of the season. Henriques’s team welcomes the challenge of facing Lille on Wednesday. Still, to secure a positive result in France, they must address their poor away form, as they have failed to win in 10 of their 16 competitive away matches in all competitions since the beginning of the year.
