Team News

Lille
AC Milan
  • Jonathan David finally scored his first goal for Lille, coming at the weekend on his 14th appearance in all competitions. He earned a perfect WhoScored 10 rating in the process.
  • Jose Fonte, Reinildo and Burak Yilmaz missed the 4-0 win over Lorient at the weekend through suspension but are available here.
  • Boubakary Soumare was fit enough to feature from the bench on Sunday, but Renato Sanches is missed out and is likely to again here. Luiz Araujo is also a doubt.
  • Zlatan Ibrahimovic suffered a thigh injury against Napoli on Sunday and will now miss their next three or four games.
  • The Serie A outfit will rotate in their usual Europa League players like Brahim Diaz, Diogo Dalot and Sandro Tonali. Rafael Leao is expected to miss out once again here.
  • Summer signing Jens Petter Hauge scored his first Milan goal off the bench at the weekend and will push for his full debut here.

Prediction

  • Lille have nothing to fear when they welcome AC Milan on Thursday after battering the Serie A leaders 3-0 in Italy last time out in the Europa League. They prepared for Thursday's match with a 4-0 win over Lorient on Sunday.
  • AC Milan battled to a 2-1 win over Napoli on Sunday but it came at a cost with Zlatan Ibrahimovic coming off injured after scoring both goals. The 39-year-old is now sidelined for the next few weeks and will be a big loss here.
  • Lille are unbeaten at home this season but Milan have won all seven of their away games scoring at least twice in every single one. Something will have to give on Thursday.
