Lens face Como 1907 in Champions League clash as Italian side chase sixth straight win

RC Lens host Come 1907 in one of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures of the fourth matchday in the league phase of the Champions League.

The game is listed for Wednesday, 4 November 2026, with kick-off at 20:00 GMT at Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens.

Neither side has previously met in an official competition. The fixture will therefore begin a new chapter between the clubs, although the pre-match record refers to their Champions League meeting as taking place on 3 November 2026.

Come 1907 are appearing on the European stage after an unexpected fourth-place finish in Serie A during the 2025/26 season. Lens, meanwhile, return to European competition following an impressive Ligue 1 campaign last season.

Contrasting form

The Italian side arrive in considerably stronger form, having won their past five matches in all competitions. That run includes a convincing 4-1 victory over Manchester United and a controlled 1-0 win against Venice in their most recent outing.

Lens have also collected victories in Ligue 1, but their recent results have been less consistent. The Sang et Or lost 1-0 to Lille in their latest match and were beaten 3-0 by Bruges in their previous Champions League fixture.

That sequence has led to Come 1907 being regarded as the favourites despite Lens having home advantage. The visitors’ five-match winning run contrasts with two recent defeats for the French club.

The pre-match prediction is a 3-1 win for FC Come.
