With 2 more games to go in the group stage of the Europa League
things look very complicated in Group B as Lille lead the table with 7
points followed by Valencia and Genoa with 6.
A crucial match for Valencia in this competition as any result but a
victory might let Genoa in the second spot of the group.
The team is 4th in the Spanish Primera Division with 5 points gap
from leaders Barcelona and one from third Sevilla. Although they show a
good form, their run so far has been inconsistent and lately
characterized by a lot of draws.
In the Europa League, the 2 draws against Slavia Praha, last in the
standings, will probably cost them and as the next confrontation is a
trip to Genoa things look very complicated.
Lille top Group B for the moment but only with the slightest of
margins in front the next 2 teams. Their main advantage for advancing is
the last match that they will play at home against Sparta as Valencia
and Genoa will most probably battle it out for the remaining spot.
My tip: Valencia to win
