In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Paris Saint Germain, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Angers SCO, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 14 conceded. Their last away match for this competition ended in a win by (1‑2) against Le Havre. In the last 9 away league matches Lens has a record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 16 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Lens enters this round motivated after a 1-0 victory at home against Angers, with the only goal of the match scored by Przemyslaw Frankowski. The away side typically plays in a 4-3-3 formation, favouring a slower and more organised style of play. Therefore, it is expected that the three players with the most offensive duties will be Angelo Fulgini, Florian Sotoca, and M'Bala Nzola. When transitioning to attack, they usually focus on channelling their offensive efforts down the right, making use of the width provided by full-back Przemyslaw Frankowski. Missing from this game is Facundo Medina, suspended, as well as Denis Petric, Jhoanner Chávez, Martín Satriano, and Rémy Labeau Lascary, all due to injury.
