Lille


Lille's two wins in a row in the UEFA Champions League, which saw them finish bottom of Group G, have guaranteed their participation in one of next year's European competitions and would be the first time that the current Ligue 1 champions have finished as group leaders in the UEFA Champions League, as well as reaching the knockout round since 2007.

Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg is in last place in the group, although they could still aspire to a place in the round of 16, a stage they have not been able to reach for the last five years. The biggest problem for the team is in attack, as their goal scoring has been very poor. Die Wolfe are on a three-game winning streak at home and will be looking to continue this trend against Lille.
