Arsenal favorite. Eye-catching in Seville on the first day of the group stage, the Lensois started the Champions League with a draw (1-1). Arsenal, vice-champion of England last season, achieved a success at home (4-0) which confirms its status as favorite in this group.
Lens on good momentum. After having started the season very badly with four defeats and a draw in five days of the championship, the Lensois are now on a positive dynamic and remain on two victories in Ligue 1, against Toulouse and Strasbourg.
A previous legendary match, in 1998. One of the last confrontations between the two clubs is part of the European legend of the Sang et Or. Indeed, in 1998, they won 1-0 at Wembley thanks to a goal from Michaël Debève. The greatest success in their history in C1. Two years later, the Artesians lost in the UEFA Cup semi-final against the English, who were defeated in the final.
