Lille will host Slovan Bratislava on Thursday

Lille will welcome Slovan Bratislava to Stade Pierre-Mauraoy for a UEFA Europa Conference League clash on Thursday.

The hosts are coming into the clash on the back of a narrow 1-0 victory over Brest at the same venue in Ligue 1 over the weekend. Yusuf Yazici's sixth-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Slovan Bratislava, meanwhile, claimed maximum points away to Spartak Trnava in the Slovak Super Liga, with all three goals scored in the second half. Aleksandar Cavric and Lucas Lovat scored either side of Adrian Zeljkovic to help the visitors leave with all three points on their quest for a sixth league crown.

Vladimir Weiss' side will turn their focus to the continent where their last game saw them defeat Olimpija Ljubljana with a 1-0 away win. Lille's last Conference League game saw them held to a goalless draw away to Klaksvik.

The draw left them in second spot in Group A, having garnered four points from two games. Slovan Bratislava sit at the summit with six points to their name.

Lille vs Slovan Bratislava Prediction

These two sides were tipped to advance from this group and the status quo is seemingly being maintained after two games. Lille were the favorites to top the group and Les Dogues will be looking to claim victory here to go top.

Slovan Bratislava are the more in-form side and, despite being the underdogs in this game, they will fancy their chances of leaving France with something. Lille's games tend to be low-scoring affairs but they could be put under pressure by Bratislava's attacking prowess.

We are backing Lille to claim the three points with a narrow win and goals at both ends.
