2 PREVIEW : LOSC LILLE MÉTROPOLE - SM CAEN Feature Preview Lille coach Rudi Garcia wants his side to make it five wins in a row as they host Caen on Monday evening in order to take advantage of any slips from the top two. The champions are on their best run of the season, having won their last four Ligue 1 matches and seven of their last eight. Ensconced in third place since Week 11 of the season, LOSC briefly went second thanks to the midweek win at Nice, only to slip back to third when Paris Saint-Germain beat Saint-Etienne later on Wednesday evening. With PSG, who are two points clear of LOSC ahead of Week 36, in action at Valenciennes on Sunday evening and Lyon, the only club who could potentially catch LOSC and deprive them of third, hosting Brest earlier that afternoon, Lille will have a better idea of the top-of-the-table picture by the time they kick in front of another sell-out home crowd. After beating Nice, thanks to an early Tulio De Melo goal, Garcia said: "We have to improve on our current run if we want to hope for better than third in the table. For now, two clubs are in front of us but, should they slip up, we need to be there to take advantage. In winning at Nice we proved that we're not giving up on anything and that people will have to count on us." Eden Hazard has scored in his last nine home appearances, including netting a penalty in the Week win over PSG, and the Ligue 1 player of the year will be the biggest threat to Caen, who have not won away since beating Lyon 2-1 in Week 23. Club top scorer Hazard has scored 17 times in the league this campaign and also added 14 assists, including a cross for De Melo's headed winner against Les Aiglons. LOSC have an excellent record against Caen, having beaten them in their last five competitive meetings, and have not lost at home to the Normandy club since October Caen, requiring points to secure their Ligue 1 status, know they face a daunting task but make the journey buoyed by a 1-0 Week 35 home win over Lorient. Centre-half Thomas Heurtaux's 30m screamer was his fifth goal from as many attempts on target and secured only Caen's second victory from their last 11 league fixtures. Caen are now on 38 points and enter Week 36 four points clear of the relegation zone. Coach Franck Dumas said: "Nothing has been decided yet but it is better to have that gap of four points than to be chasing down clubs that are above you in the table. We've got a few days to recover now. Lille have been playing attractive football for a number of seasons now, with a lot of quality and a lot of movement. I'll be making changes for the game and I've got a little idea of what to do. The goal will be not use up all our ammunition there. For example, Romain Hamouma will not play." Caen released an official club statement on Thursday with president Jean-François Fortin confirming that Dumas would still be in charge next season and denying press rumours that Régis Brouard, coach of Coupe de France finalists Quevilly, had been lined up to take over. After Lille, Caen host Sochaux and travel to Valenciennes. LOSC's remaining games will see them visit Montpellier and host Nancy. 05/04/2012 Ligue de Football Professionnel / Ligue1.com 2
