20:45 – Pelissier wants to create the feat
While they will be kept in Ligue 1 in the event of victory, the Auxerrois will have a lot to do against Lens. An opposition that Christophe Pelissier dreads: “To beat the RC Lens, we cannot afford to have a part of our brain that is elsewhere. We have to be 120% focused on this meeting. RC Lens is very strong offensively and defensively. It’s not the best defense in Ligue 1 for nothing. We see players who make efforts for the collective. When you’re a coach, it’s amazing to see that. We bothered them in the first leg, we also have weapons despite the fact that Lens has a lot. We have to be able to put ourselves on their level. We have 90 minutes to get there.”
8:40 p.m. – A game with a stake?
A match without stake or almost? While the Racing Club de Lens is already qualified for the Champions League, the Sang et Or travel to Burgundy to face Auxerre at Abbé-Deschamps who still have to maintain their position. Sixteenth in the French championship two points from the first relegation zone, the Auxerrois will get their ticket to Ligue 1 next season if they win.
