Two opposing objectives but which bring together Lensois and Clermontois. This Saturday, April 20, Stade Bollaert welcomes Clermont Foot for a decisive match on all sides. Last in the standings (18th), Pascal Gastien’s players are obliged to bring home the 3 points. Otherwise, a descent into Ligue 2 will take shape, 4 days from the end (after the match). In a series of 2 draws in a row against Montpellier and Paris, Clermont must create a surprise against RC Lens (6th) who are doubtful in the championship.
With a last victory dating from March 9, 2024, Franck Haise’s men must get back on track to hope to win a ticket to Europe. Squeezed in the Ligue 1 table by Lyon (41 pts), Reims (40 pts), Marseille and Rennes (39 pts), Lens and its 43 points are virtually qualified in the Europa Conference League. Just behind Nice with a unit behind, Elye Wahi and his teammates will fight for a place in the Europa League and distance themselves from the competitors.
RC Lens-Clermont, the match of all hopes at the Stade Bollaert. Kick-off will take place on Saturday April 20 at 9 p.m., live on Canal + Sport 360 and DAZN.
