Two clubs in the bottom half of the Ligue 1 table will do battle today in a league match between Lille and Evian TG. The first-division clash scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille and can be live streamed here free.

What They're Saying

Lille manager Rene Girard (via Ligue 1): "We were below average in the first half of the season. We are lacking aggression and confidence, and we need to find these ingredients. We can do much better with these players. After Wednesday night, we will be halfway through the season. It is important that we get to 24 points, which would not be such a dramatic total."

Evian TG manager Pascal Dupraz: "Lille are a superior side to us and are temporarily in a bad position in the table. They will put that right, but the only thing I'm hoping is that they don't do so until after this game."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Evian's Yeltsin Tejeda has enjoyed a modicum of success since joining from Saprissa in the summer transfer window. In 11 league appearances, the 22-year-old is averaging 1.5 interceptions and 1.5 take-ons.

Lille's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Enyeama; Sidibe, Basa, Kjaer, Beria; Meite, Mavuba, Balmont; Rodelin, Roux, Corchia

Evian TG's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hansen; Sabaly, Cambon, Angoula, Abdallah; Barbosa, Tejeda, Sorlin, Wass; Sougou, Nielsen
