D-Day in G-Group

Don’t you just love it when it all goes down to the wire? Everything to play for, everything still to lose – and just 90 minutes to prove you’re a winner. Well, that’s what we’ve got in the Group G of this season’s Champions League. LOSC Lille, Salzburg, Sevilla and Wolfsburg are in the chase for one of the top two places.French champions Lille are first in the table going into the last matchday knowing that a draw with Wolfsburg in Germany would be sufficient to guarantee qualification to the last 16. Wolfsburg, on the other hand, haven’t won in their last four games – and have lost the last three. If there is a good time to break a losing run – it’s tonight!Lewa-Barca 27:25! Catalans are in need of a miracleIf they do finish top of the group, they’ll make UEFA Champions League history as the first team to do so after starting Matchday 6 bottom of their section. It really would be quite some achievement, but LOSC looked out of the running after three games, and now need just a point.The German team’s coach Florian Kohfeldt is relishing the opportunity to squeeze through in such a tricky situation.”I don’t see it as us being under pressure at all. I see it as a positive starting position. We had two points after the first three matchdays, but by winning against Salzburg we opened up the group. The standings are crazy: everyone can still be knocked out or make it through!”Les Dogues have strung together a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions and have found the back of the net in each of their last nine matches – a feat that would be excellent to carry on to tonight.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Although the game will be interesting in itself, fans of both teams will be keeping one eye on the match in Salzburg where the Austrian champions host Sevilla.The Austrian team from the birthplace of one Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is going to have a difficult task in toppling Sevilla, a team rich in experience of high-profile continental games. Salzburg forward Karim Adeyemi want to make it count.”Every kid dreams of playing in this competition – and, of course, winning it, but that’s a long way away. Being able to play in this competition is a huge honour, and I think I can speak for my whole team when I say we’re so honoured to be so young and playing in the Champions League, it’s a great feeling.”African players on Rangnick’s mind ahead of Champions League match with Young BoysAll three points in Salzburg would guarantee a spot in the last 16 for Julen Lopetegui’s side. Sevilla’s form has been patchy this season, but while they have only won four of their 11 matches away from home all season. If they still want to be playing Champions League football in February – win number five is a must.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUEGroup G – matchday 6Wednesday23.00: (2.50) Wolfsburg (3.15) Lille (3.20)23.00: (3.25) Salzburg (3.20) Sevilla (2.45)***odds are subject to change
