Lens wants its direct qualification in the Champions League. After Marseille’s defeat against Lille on Saturday (2-1), Lens can take a five-point lead over the Phocaeans and consolidate its second place, against Lorient, Saturday May 21 at 5 p.m., at Moustoir. For the Northerners, it is also an opportunity to force PSG to win to get closer to its 11th title of champion of France. In front of them, they will find uninhibited and maintained Lorientais, who will seek to please their public at the end of the season. On a series of three consecutive games without defeat the Bretons advance with serenity before the reception of Lens.

In the first leg, the Lensois largely won with a score of five goals to two, at home. This time, they will not be able to count on the presence of Kevin Danso, suspended after his red card against Reims.
