RC Lens hosts Friborg this Thursday in the first leg of the knockout phase of the Europa League.
Lens-Fribourg, pre-match
Third in its Champions League group, behind PSV Eindhoven and Arsenal, RC Lens was transferred to the Europa League. But before reaching the round of 16 of the C3, the Sang et Or will have to defeat Friborg in the play-offs.
In great form currently, Franck Haise’s squad remains on three consecutive victories in Ligue 1. It is therefore with confidence that the Northerners will welcome the Germans this Thursday evening, in Bollaert, for the first leg.
For its part, Friborg has just suffered two defeats in a row in the Bundesliga, against Werder and Stuttgart.
Lens-Fribourg, the probable lineups
For this meeting, Franck Haise will be deprived of his Argentinian international, Facundo Medina, suspended after receiving three yellow cards during the Champions League groups. The Lensois coach will also have to compose without Jimmy Cabot and Deiver Machado, both injured.
RC Lens: Samba – Gradit, Danso, Haïdara – Aguilar, El Aynaoui, Diouf, Frankowski – Sotoca, Pereira da Costa – Wahi
Freiburg: Atubolu – Kübler, Sildillia, Gulde, Makengo – Eggestein, Höfler – Sallai, Höler, Grifo (cape) – Gregoritsch.
