Rivals will collide at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis as Lens and Lille each eye a place in the last 32 of France’s premier cup competition.
Six-time Coupe de France champions Lille have gone unbeaten in their last 11 outings, a hint that manager Jocelyn Gourvennec’s vision for the club is beginning to take shape.
The team will make the short trip south, but winger Jonathan Ikoné will not join the party after signing with Fiorentina. Jonathan David, Benjamin André and Xeka are among other players who will miss the match due to COVID-19 protocols.
Ignatius Ganago scored the only goal of the game to take Lens past Stade Poitevin in the last round, with three-time Coupe de France runners-up eyeing their first final appearance since 1998.
Lille, on the other hand, hasn't ventured as far as the decider since they last won the tournament in 2011.
A 3–1 victory over second-division Auxerre last month was enough to steer Gourvennec’s men into the last 64, having now won five of their last six games.
Lens collected a narrow 1–0 win over Lille when they hosted their derby opponents in September, since which both clubs have moved in opposite directions.
