Roberto De Zerbi’s men are in good form and at home they are a team who are capable of dominating the away side and getting good results.

Players to Watch

Luis Henrique (Marseille)

Right-footed by nature, Luis Henrique’s style of play is not that of a touchline winger. He quite often positions himself in the channel to receive a pass and almost always underlaps. His close control is impressive and he is very dynamic and athletic with the ball.

The Brazilian is not afraid to take on defenders and likes to take them on 1v1. In 14 Ligue 1 games this season he has scored six goals and provided four assists. Even though in the Europa League he has failed to score any goals but overall his impact on the game is visible in the team’s performance.

Jonathan David (Lille)

One of the best things about David is his ability to score with both feet. His anticipation and positioning within the box are two of his biggest strengths. David’s excellent first touch allows him to break away from the press, and then he uses his acceleration and balance to turn and burst away from defenders.

He has the perfect attributes to play as a lone striker. The Canadian international has scored 11 goals and provided an assist in 14 fixtures in the French league. At the continental level competition, he scored six goals till now.
