What is the status of the two teams before the match?
Both teams should have all players available for the match. In Copenhagen, there has been some doubts about the goal keeper Johan Wiland. However, the Swede seems to be fit for the second leg.
How is the two teams form?
Lille is currently positioned as number 8 in the french Le Championnat, with five points after three matches. The team has not had the start they had hoped for, with only one victory and two draws against smaller teams.
FC Copenhagen is so far unbeaten in the Danish Superliga, and with their 1-0 win in the first match against Lille, they have had a terrific start on the season. The loss of attacker Dame N'Doye has been forgotten, by Cesar Santin, who scored against Lille.

What to expect from this match?
After the 1-0 defeat to Copenhagen, Lille Coach Rudi Garcia said that they still had the chance to win go through to the next round. This means that LOSC will attack from the start. However, they still have to take care in defends, as a FCK goal will bring they even further away from the ChL.
Copenhagen can settle with a 0-0 or 1-1 draw. We will probably see a defensive Copenhagen team who is afraid of taking any chances. An early goal from Lille will certainly bring some excitement in to the match.
Who will win?
Not many had left Copenhagen with a chance against Lille. However, the Danes surprised and won 1-0. Danish teams often has trouble playing in France, and given that LOSC will have to come forward to win this match it will be a hard one for Copenhagen. I believe that Lille will win a 2-0 victory.
What are the odds?
There is no doubt in the bookmakers doubt. LOSC Lille is going to win this one. However, if you have the guts, Copenhagen will give back big time.
