The UEFA Champions League returns this midweek and will see Lille host Sevilla in Group G on Wednesday night.
Lille began their Champions League campaign with a goalless draw against Wolfsburg on home turf. They then faced Austrian side Salzburg in their second Champions League game and lost 2-1.
Burak Yilmaz scored a second-half consolation goal for the French side after they went two goals behind.
Lille are therefore winless in their Champions League run so far and sit bottom of the group with one point. They will be looking to pick up their first win as they face Sevilla on Wednesday.
Like their hosts, Sevilla are winless in their Champions League games this season. They held on for a 1-1 draw in their first game against Salzburg before repeating the same scoreline when they faced Wolfsburg in their next encounter.
Sevilla sit second in the group and are joined by third-placed Wolfsburg. The Spanish outfit will also be looking to kickstart their European campaign with a win on Wednesday.
