--------------------------------
Lille OSC
Lille OSC, coached by Bruno Génésio, is preparing for the 2025-26 Ligue 1 season and UEFA Europa League after finishing 5th in Ligue 1 in 2024-25 with 17 wins, 9 draws, and 8 losses, missing Champions League qualification by goal difference. Their pre-season has been inconsistent, with a 2-3 loss to Borussia Dortmund on August 2, 2025, but wins over Gent B (2-0) and Amiens (5-0), averaging 2.0 goals scored and 1.2 goals conceded across five friendlies. Key players include Olivier Giroud, Chuba Akpom, and Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, with a probable 4-2-3-1 lineup: Chevalier; Ngoy, Diakité, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson; André, Bouaddi; Zhegrova, Haraldsson, Sahraoui; Giroud. Lille’s strengths are their attacking depth and home form at Domaine de Luchin (Eden Hazard pitch, 1,500 capacity), but defensive vulnerabilities (6 goals conceded in last 5) are a concern. They aim to address these issues before their Ligue 1 opener against Reims.
Venezia FC
Venezia, led by Eusebio Di Francesco, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Serie A season after promotion from Serie B, having finished 3rd and winning the playoffs in 2024-25. Their pre-season has been strong, with wins over Sassari Torres (5-0), Dolomiti (4-2), and Real Vicenza (8-0), and a 1-1 draw against K Beerschot VA, averaging 4.5 goals scored and 0.75 goals conceded. Key players include Tanner Tessmann, Gaetano Oristanio, and Joel Pohjanpalo, with a probable 4-3-3 lineup: Joronen; Candela, Idzes, Svoboda, Zampano; Tessmann, Busio, Ellertsson; Oristanio, Pohjanpalo, Pierini. Venezia’s strengths are their attacking form (18 goals in 4 friendlies), but the potential departure of captain Jay Idzes to Torino and a step-up in opposition quality are concerns. They aim to maintain momentum.
Head-to-Head
Lille and Venezia have no prior meetings, making this their first encounter. Friendlies between Ligue 1 and Serie A sides average 2.7 goals, with 60% over 2.5 goals and 50% both teams scoring (BTTS).
Predicted Score: Lille OSC 2-1 Venezia FC
This friendly on August 6, 2025, at Domaine de Luchin, Camphin-en-Pévèle, at 5:00 PM CEST (11:00 AM EDT), is a limited-capacity match (1,500 fans, sold out). Lille’s Giroud and Haraldsson face Venezia’s Pohjanpalo and Oristanio, with Lille’s home edge tested by Venezia’s scoring run (over 1.5 goals in last 5 games). Lille are favorites (-150 odds) over Venezia (+300), with a draw at +230. Trends (Lille: 60% over 2.5 goals; Venezia: 100%) suggest a high-scoring game, with betting tips favoring BTTS (-167 odds) and over 2.5 goals (+105). The 20°C afternoon should keep cards low. The match streams on LOSC’s platforms, ESPN+, and Sofascore, with tickets sold out. Lille is likely to score through Giroud, with Pohjanpalo possibly netting for Venezia. Lille’s quality and home advantage should secure a narrow win, but Venezia’s attacking form keeps it close.
