17 May 2011<\/p>\n

Lille will virtually wrap up the French Ligue 1 title on Wednesday evening if they defeat Sochaux at the Stade Lille-Metropole.<\/p>\n

Victory for Les Dogues would open up a six-point lead over second-placed Olympique Marseille with just two rounds of the league season left to play, meaning Lille would need just a draw from one of their last two matches to clinch the championship.<\/p>\n

Rudi Garcia\u2019s team will come into the match on an emotional high, having beaten PSG 1-0 on the weekend to win the Coupe de France for the first time since 1955. They are chasing their first league title since 1954.<\/p>\n

A league and cup double looks on the cards for the Northerners, with Marseille defender Souleymane Diawara saying, \u201cIt’s not over, mathematically, but I don’t think Lille will let it go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lille will once again look to their African strike pairing of Moussa Sow and Gervinho as well as midfielder Eden Hazard for inspiration, knowing that Sochaux will be no pushovers: they have gone seven games unbeaten and are looking to qualify for next season\u2019s UEFA Europa League.<\/p>\n

The only other game on Wednesday night sees Coupe de France runners-up PSG away to Bordeaux. The Parisians are looking to leapfrog Olympique Lyon in the standings and put themselves in a UEFA Champions League qualifying position.<\/p>\n
