Our prediction for the match Lille vs Sturm
“The Mastiffs” managed to improve their performance last season. Still, they lost to the sensation of the draw, Brest. One way or another, the team finished in 4th place. “The Swabians” surprised much more: Hoeneß, who had left his new wards in the Bundesliga through the play-offs a year earlier, even overtook Bayern, becoming vice-champion of Germany, in the spring. As for “the Black and Whites”, they finally managed to push Red Bull Salzburg off the podium and regain their status as the number 1 force in Austrian football.
Paulo Fonseca swapped France for Italy in the summer, accepting an invitation from Milan. Still, the mentor was replaced quite worthy by Bruno Génésio – being under his leadership, the team is able to maintain the positions, which were taken in the previous Ligue 1 cycle. Speaking about the Champions League, David and the company are pleasantly surprising. They knock out not only Fenerbahçe and Slavia in the qualification, but also won the battles against Atletico, Real and Bologna, while drawing with Juventus, in the autumn. It is remarkable that the club started with a 0-2 score in September in the confrontation with local Sporting in Lisbon.
The Austrians started from the main round. And they only lost there at first – to Brest and Brugge, Sporting and Borussia Dortmund. And only after their coach was lured away by Hoffenheim, in November, the team managed to win in the struggle with the failing opponent, Girona, thanks to Biereth’s only goal.
