Lens host Como at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Wednesday 4 November 2026 (kick-off 20:00 UK time) in League phase matchday 4 of the Champions League. The two sides are separated by 18 places in the table.
Where they stand
Como are ninth with two wins from three, six points and a goal difference of +5. That is one place outside the top eight, who go straight through to the last 16. Ninth to 24th enter the knockout play-offs.
Lens are 27th, outside those play-off places. They have one win from three, three points and a goal difference of minus four. PSG lead the table with nine points from nine, and Slovan Bratislava are bottom on zero with a goal difference of minus 12.
Form and numbers
Lens won 3-2 at Slavia Praha, but they have lost their other two games without scoring: 2-0 at home to Sporting and 3-0 at Club Brugge.
The season averages show the problem at both ends:
- Goals per game: Lens 1, Como 3.33
- Conceded per game: Lens 2.33, Como 1.67
- Points per game: Lens 1, Como 2
- Clean sheets: Lens 0, Como 0
- Yellow cards: Lens 5, Como 6
Como have scored freely. They beat Leipzig 4-1 and Manchester United 4-1, and their only defeat came 3-2 at Feyenoord. That is ten goals scored in three games, but they have also conceded five and have yet to keep a clean sheet.
Neither side has shut out an opponent, so both defences have work to do. Lens have shipped seven in three games. Como's record is better, but not watertight.
Head to head
There are no recent meetings between Lens and Como in our records, so the tally stands at nil for each side and for draws. Wednesday is a first look at how the two match up.
MFF prediction
MFF's match model prediction is a 2-1 win for Como. It gives the visitors a 54% chance of victory, with 26% for a Lens win and 21% for a draw.
The model reflects the gap in scoring: Como average 3.33 goals a game and Lens average one. Lens do have a route back into the game, though. Their win at Slavia Praha shows they can score when they get the chance, and a home win would lift them off three points.
