Lille OSC vs. Rijeka: Match Preview, Where To Watch Live UEFA Europa Conference, August 24, 2023

The Lille OSC team will challenge the Rijeka team in a 1st leg in UEFA Europa Conference Stade Pierre-Mauroy Stadium, Villeneuve d’Ascq on Thursday, August 24, 2023. For streaming coverage of Lille LOSC vs Rijeka, ​​preview and how to watch it, see in this article.

Lille will host Rijeka at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in the first leg of the 2023/24 Conference League playoffs, Wednesday (24/8) evening. The home team is ambitious to finish this game with a big win in order to qualify for the group stage easily.

Lille returned to the European scene after a season away, albeit only in the less prestigious “tier 3” Conference League. However, this could be an opportunity for Paulo Fonseca’s team to achieve achievements because the Conference League is clearly lighter than the other two competitions (Champions League and Europa League).

In the past, Lille’s best European achievement was qualifying for the last 16 of the UEFA Cup (now Europa League). If it is narrowed down again, Les Dogues has only failed to pass the European cup qualification once.

LOSC has also started well in the French league by collecting 4 points from the first 2 matches. Last weekend, even though they had to play with 10 men, they still won 2-0 at home to host Nantes.

Meanwhile, Rijeka was very unlucky when he met Lille. In fact the team that finished 4th in the Croatian league last season won all of their last 4 matches in the Conference League qualifiers but the two B36 opponents Tórshavn (Faroe) and Dukagjini (Kosovo) just don’t match them at all. Lille is on a completely different level.

Therefore, the record of winning all of that is clearly not enough to “threat” Lille. Still remember, in the 2021/22 season, Rijeka also made it to the Conference League playoffs and ended up losing to PAOK (Greece). Of course the French team must not let their guard down if they want to achieve the set target (finishing the playoffs soon).

Lille is expected to easily win over Rijeka in the first leg of the Conference League playoffs. The home team has the advantage of quality, experience and motivation to qualify for the group stages. They also have a very impressive home record and often score a lot of goals.

Meanwhile, Rijeka does not have much hope of being able to keep up with Lille. The visitors have only faced weak opponents in the Conference League qualifiers and have never faced a French team before. They also don’t have much experience on the European stage and will likely find it difficult to adapt to Lille’s style of play.
