In their last match, they beat Montpellier away by (1‑2), after losing in the previous match (0‑1) at home, in a match against Nice. This is a team that curiously tends to achieve more positive results as a visitor than at home, since in the last 30 games they have registered 9 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats as a visitor, with 25 goals scored and 20 suffered; against 6 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats in his stadium, with 20 goals scored and 21 suffered.

In the last 10 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 15 goals between minutes (76′ ‑ 90 ‘).
Lens comes to this game motivated, after a 1×2 victory in the visit to Montpellier, returning to the victories after the defeat against Nice: the team’s goals were scored by Cheick Doucouré and Gael Kakuta. The house formation generally operates in a 3-5-2 tactical system, to favor a faster playing style and constant transitions. Attacking midfielder Gael Kakuta is the team’s top scorer, with nine goals scored. Coach Franck Haise cannot count on Cheick Traore and Ignacio Ganago, both with physical problems.

In the last match, they lost in an away match against Monaco by (3‑1).

For the championship, Olympique Marseille won 17 points out of a possible 30, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 away matches. In their home league matches the most frequent final result at half ‑ time was 0‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches, so they have not presented great defensive strength, but their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 20 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 7 times and never got the comeback.
Olympique de Marseille comes to this day unmotivated, after a 3×1 defeat in the visit to the Monaco stadium, thus adding the third consecutive defeat in Ligue 1: the only goal of the team was scored by Nemanja Radonjic. The visiting club has the habit of acting in a tactical system in 4-3-3, favoring a more organized style of play, attacking through the central zone.
