Lille OSC have been drawn against Austrian Side Sturm Graz in the UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16.
Having finished top of Group A with 14 points, Lille automatically progressed to the Round of 16 and therefore did not need to compete in the play-offs, which took place on Thursday. Their reward is a tie against Sturm Graz, currently second in the Austrian top flight, who comfortably beat Slovan Bratislava (5-1 agg.) to secure their place in the next round.
Les Dogues will have been happy to avoid teams such as Ajax, Olympiacos and Union Sant-Gilloise, who were all potential opponents for Paulo Fonseca’s side. The fixtures will take place on 7th and 14th March.
