RC Lens faces a crucial match against CA Bastia with the opportunity to secure their promotion back to Ligue 1 after three seasons. While promotion seemed to be a foregone conclusion earlier in the season, Lens’s inconsistent performances have left them in a precarious position.
Head coach Antoine Kombouaré emphasizes the importance of the upcoming match, stating, “If we want to move up to Ligue 1, we have to win this match, we have to do the job. If we don’t win, too bad for us. I don’t give gifts and I don’t expect one. We’ve seen how teams like Brest have played against us. We have to push for promotion. If we want to reach Ligue 1, we need top-quality performances. We need to be efficient, solid, and win the match. If it doesn’t happen, that’s life.”
With everything on the line, Lens will need to deliver a strong performance to ensure their return to the top flight.
