Lille will welcome Brann to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy for their first game of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) league phase on Thursday evening. The hosts come into this clash off the back of a disappointing 3-0 defeat away at Lens in Ligue 1.
Meanwhile, Brann beat Sandefjord 3-0 away from home in the Eliteserien last time out. However, Lille are a higher level of opposition, and so the visitors will be underdogs heading to France.

Most recent H2Hs: First-ever meeting
These two sides have never met in a competitive outing before, with Thursday night representing their first-ever H2H. Given that Ligue 1 is of a higher quality than the Eliteserien, Lille should be expected to beat Brann, especially at their home stadium.
Lille will be missing a number of key squad players due to injury. Alexsandro, Thomas Meunier, Ousmane Toure and Marc-Aurele Caillard are all expected to miss out for the hosts.
Predicted lineup: Ozer (GK); Mandi, Ngoy, Mbemba, Perraud; Bentaleb, Bouaddi; Correia, Mbappe, Sahraoui & Giroud

Brann are likely to be without both Sakarias Opsahl and Niklas Jensen Wassberg again with ongoing injuries. Otherwise, the Norwegians are expected to field their strongest XI possible.
