Eric Charden’s song said “summer will be hot“, but for Lille we can already say that the winter will be cold. After qualifying through the back door in Rijeka in Croatia during the preliminary round of the Europa Conference league (3rd European cup), LOSC knows its opponents from group A, heading to the far north and east: Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia), Olimpija Ljubljana (Slovenia) and more exotic, the Ki Klaksvik club in the Faroe Islands.The matches are scheduled from September 21 to December 14.
Good draw
For LOSC it is an affordable draw, “a good draw“even for the supporters but which can look like a trap.
* The Slavic Bratislava is the defending champion of the Slovak championship. The club played this season the qualifications for the champions league and finds itself donated to the Europa Conference league. Bratislava has Georgian Jaba Kankava in its ranks, who has played around forty games with Reims.
* Reigning Slovenian champion, the NK Olimpija Ljubljana also played 3 preliminary rounds of the Champions League before being transferred to the Europa League then the Europa Conference League.
* The Ki Klaksvik is best known for its small 4,000-seat Við Djúpumýrar stadium (synthetic pitch) located at the foot of a volcano. The club from the north of the archipelago, which played the preliminary round of the Champions League, is entering a group stage of European competition for the first time in its history. Not easy to get to the Faroe Islands in the middle of winter. The France team had a great scare in 2007.
