Match Preview:
The 17-time Swiss Super League champions have lost consecutive matches in this competition and have been outscored 6-1 over that stretch. Gerardo Seoane’s team are winless in three successive competitive fixtures, while conceding a combined eight goals over that stretch.
Two of their final three matches in the League Phase will be at home, where they have won three of their four Europa League outings this season, scoring three or more goals in each of those triumphs. Heading into this encounter, they are unbeaten in their previous three competitive games on home soil, posting clean sheets on back-to-back occasions.
Young Boys have only won two matches all-time versus French opposition, both of which were at home, the last one dating back to 1963 against Toulouse in the UEFA Intertoto Cup (3-2).

While they lost two of their opening three competitive fixtures last month, the Northern French side are currently on a four-match winning run across all competitions. Bruno Genesio’s men are just a point outside of the top eight in the League Phase and an automatic place in the last 16, while they are fourth in Ligue 1, just four points behind the leaders Lens.
Les Nordistes have found the back of the net a combined 10 times on their current winning run, but have been equally sharp defensively with three straight clean sheets. On Thursday, they will seek to avoid suffering consecutive away defeats in this competition for the first time since 2009 after being shut out 1-0 by Red Star Belgrade on matchday four. In their six prior meetings against Swiss clubs, Les Dogues have never lost, while conceding no goals in their three visits to Switzerland.

Match Prediction: Young Boys 0-1 Lille
While Lille are known for their potency, they have shown they can defend effectively, as evidenced in recent weeks, and we trust their consistency and depth will propel them to another triumph.
