Number of the match 6 That is how many consecutive games in all competitions Como have finished with at least one goal.

First meeting between the clubs

This will be the first official meeting between Lens and Como, and the Italian club's first match against a French opponent in their history. In their recent Serie A game, Como beat Venezia 1–0. Lucas da Cunha scored the only goal from the penalty spot in the 43rd minute.

When Como score and Lens concede

Como have scored early in every European match so far this season, and in the Champions League they have also scored in the first half of every game. Lens conceded first in eleven of their last twelve Champions League matches, and in 21 appearances in the competition they have led at half-time only once. The finish looks different: in this Champions League season Como have scored 3 of their 10 goals after the 75th minute, while Lens have conceded 1 of their 7 after it.

Lens at home and the squads before the match

Lens won 16 of their last 22 European matches at home, drew four and lost two. They also recently lost away to Lille 1–0 in Ligue 1. Lens are without the injured Abdallah Sima, Ismaëlo Ganiou, Maik Nawrocki and Odsonne Édouard. Como are missing the suspended Adrian Lahdo, and Assane Diao and Jesús Rodríguez are injured.
