  • 5' VfL Wolfsburg seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Yannick Gerhardt suffering a number of foals already.
  • 11' Lille OSC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Burak Yilmaz on 11.
  • 16' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VfL Wolfsburg that had 471 games and scored 479 goals.

  • 46' Dodi Lukebakio is replacing Yannick Gerhardt for the VfL Wolfsburg side.
  • 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Wout Weghorst made 471 appearances and scored 102 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 56' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
