Lille vs Sturm Graz Match Preview and Prediction
Lille vs Sturm Graz: Paulo Fonseca should adjust his starting lineup for Ligue 1 matches against Brest, Lens, Marseille, and Monaco. Lille and Sturm Graz varied in quality seven days ago in Austria. Sturm Graz were disappointing in the domestic league match against Hartberg this weekend, drawing 1-1.
Seven days earlier, Lille easily breezed past Sturm Graz while in Austria. The French team is in first place going into this Thursday’s rematch at Decathlon Arena in Stade Pierre-Mauroy after a 3-0 victory. Is it possible for the Austrians to correct the impression by winning in France?
Last week in Graz, Jonathan David scored two of his team’s three goals, continuing his remarkable run. Lille deserved to be the favorites, and it was a one-way street from start to finish. David added two more Ligue 1 goals this weekend. Thus, the Canadian striker gave Lille a critical point in Sunday’s 2-2 home draw with Rennes.
Sturm Graz only managed a 1-1 draw away at Hartberg on Sunday afternoon, demonstrating their lack of recovery from such a devastating loss to Lille. The team’s hopes of winning the Austrian championship were severely damaged by the draw. After 22 competition rounds, Christian Ilzer’s team is four points behind Salzburg’s lead.
