Auxerre-Lens. 38th day of Ligue 1 where Racing Club de Lens, already qualified for the Champions League, travels to Auxerre, in the fight to maintain. Discover all the information about this meeting.
A match without stake or almost? While the Racing Club de Lens is already qualified for the Champions League, the Sang et Or travel to Burgundy to face Auxerre at Abbé-Deschamps who still have to maintain their position. Sixteenth in the French championship two points from the first relegation zone, the Auxerrois will get their ticket to Ligue 1 next season if they win. A confrontation that Christophe Pelissier, the coach of Auxerre dreads: “To beat RC Lens, we can’t afford to have a part of our brain that is elsewhere. We have to be 120% focused on this game. RC Lens is very strong offensively and defensively. It’s not the best defense in Ligue 1 for nothing. We see players who make an effort for the collective. When you’re a coach, it’s Unbelievable to see that. We bothered them in the first leg, we have weapons too despite the fact that Lens have a lot of them. We have to be able to get up to their level. We have 90 minutes to get there.”
On the Lensois side, this 38th day of Ligue 1 comes to the end of a perfect season where Franck Haise’s players won a qualification in the Champions League. For this last match, the Sang et Or coach will be deprived of Cabot, Costa, Fariñez and Fortes while he could do without Medina and Samba, under the threat of suspension. In a press conference, the technician returned to the interest of this meeting where the thirst for victories is never satisfied: “The challenge is always to win. We know that we have more than fulfilled the objective. To be 2nd with as many points was not. The objective is to win all the matches. In training on Tuesday and Wednesday – this Thursday was a lighter session – we worked well. I spared a few players because he “There is fatigue but I want to make the best starting team. I can make several because there are people on the bench who are performing well but our results have meant that the composition has changed less.”
