Lille OSC is set to host Premier League side Aston Villa this Thursday, March 12, in the highly anticipated first leg of their Europa League Round of 16 tie. Under the guidance of coach Bruno Genesio, the French club aims to secure a strong home advantage against Unai Emery’s formidable Aston Villa squad, which features star Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
