There will be electricity in the air this Sunday evening, for the reunion between the two rivals in the north at the Pierre Mauroy stadium. Lille And Lens find themselves for a derby always long awaited between two ambitious stables. When tackling this final sprint, the Dogues and the Sang and Gold have doubts to lift. After a very solid first part of the season, these two clubs were less sovereign in 2025.
Drazy by an overloaded calendar, Bruno Genesio's men are looking for a second breath to try to find the top 5. On their side, the Sang and Gold of Will Still had to deal with the departures of several major players during a very agitated winter transfer window. Suffice to say that beyond their rivalry, the two northern clubs tackle this match as a capital meeting on the accounting level.
And then the scenario of the first leg is still in all the heads. Despite a good performance, the Lensois had been showered by their neighbor in stoppages to finally bow 2-0. A outcome that Will Still has not forgotten. The tone is set.
The expected compos
Lille : Knight – Meunier, Mandi, Diakité, Ismay – Mukau, André (C), Bouaddi – Cabella, David, Haraldon.
Lens : Ryan – Aguilar, Medina, Sarr, Machado – Sotoca (C), Mendy, El Aynaoui, Thomasson – Diouf – Saïd.
Where to see the match?
This match between the LOSC and the Racing Club of Lens counting for the 27th day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast this Sunday on Dazn, from 8:45 pm.
