Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Red Star & Lens face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Ligue 1. That game, against Saint-Etienne, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Lens.
Red Star form and stats
Red Star was eliminated in the 16th finals last season in the Coupe de France.Overall National stats at home this season for Red Star are 5-3-2 (wins-draw-losses). This match is a Coupe de France match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses in this competition. Two draws in a row at home now for Star.
A nice win for Red Star last time playing, versus Quevilly Rouen. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Mayron De Almeida scoring for the victors.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the National game versus Sete in only three days. This game is also played here at Stade de Paris.

They also participated in Coupe de France last season. This ended in the 8th round.Playing away, Lens have won 7 games, drawn 4 and suffered 4 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season.
Lens play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Saint-Etienne. Before that, Lens travelled to Angers SCO and returned home with a draw after the Ligue 1 game finished 2-2.
David Da Costa came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Saint-Etienne last time out, making the manager F. Haise feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Saint-Etienne, was very satisfying as David Da Costa scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Lens has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 23 goals from 15 games. As opposed to that, Lens have seen the ball go into their own net 21 times on the road.
