RC Lens will face Arsenal this Tuesday in the Champions League. Can the Artésiens qualify this evening?
On behalf of the 5e day of the Champions League, Lens challenges Arsenal this Tuesday at the Emirates Stadium. The Sang et Or approach this match with the obligation to ensure a positive result after two matches without a victory without PSV.
Lens still has its destiny in its hands
The question that Lensois supporters may ask themselves before this meeting is “Is there a chance that Franck Haise’s team will secure its ticket for the 8th this evening?” “. The answer is simple: no! But, she can come considerably closer to her goal if she wins.
If they win and at the same time, PSV fails to win against Sevilla, the French vice-champions will be in a favorable position to reach the 8th. A draw in the last round, against the Andalusians, would therefore guarantee them a passage to the next round.
On the other hand, a draw or a defeat at Arsenal, combined with a victory for PSV at Sanchez Pizjuan, and the Artesians would no longer have their destiny in their hands with a view to progressing to the next round.
Finally, there is a scenario which would see Lens remain in the race even in the event of defeat. For this to happen, Sevilla FC would have to win against PSV. In this case there will be three teams with 5 points. And it will be decided on goal average on the final day.
