Roma have had a fantastic start to the season. In the Serie A, the Wolves currently sit third in the table after five games, having won four and lost one. They beat each of Hellas Verona, Lazio, Pisa and Bologna, but lost to Torino in the meantime. This means that Roma are level on points with both AC Milan in top spot and Napoli in second. Furthermore, Gina Piero Gasperini’s men managed to win their first game in the Europa League against Nice, after their opening two goals outmuscled the Frenchmen’s late consolation.
Lille have had a fairly mediocre start to the Ligue 1 season. The Mastiffs currently occupy sixth place in the French top flight, five points adrift of PSG in top spot, but also only five points clear of the drop zone. So far, Lille have won three games against Monaco, Lorient and Toulouse, but drawn one to Brest and lost two against Lyon and Lens. This puts the Frenchmen on 10 points. Lille also secured three points from their opening Europa League fixture. They defeated Brann after an 80th minute winner from Olivier Giroud to put the scoreline 2-1.
