For this shock against Olympique de Marseille, Will Still decided to renew his 3-4-2-1 (or 3-4-1-2) with in particular Malang Sarr in defense – who replaces Jonathan Gradit, suspended –, the inevitable Adrien Thomasson in the midfield and the very active Florian Sotoca behind the center forward. Andy Diouf and Angelo Fulgini, to name but a few, start on the substitutes’ bench.
The Lensois eleven: Samba (cap.) – Sarr, Danso, Medina – Frankowski, Ojediran, Thomasson, Machado – Da Costa, Sotoca – Nzola
