Last season's closest challengers to eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain meet in Ligue 1 on Sunday night, when Lens host Marseille.
Both clubs are showing signs of turning their seasons around after worrying starts, with very little to separate them coming into the weekend.
PSV Eindhoven did end their nine-game unbeaten run in midweek, but Lens were unfortunate in a narrow 1-0 defeat, which could have gone either way.
That was a first defeat since starting the season with one point from their opening five games, as a draw at Sevilla in their Champions League opener was seemingly the catalyst for an upturn in form.
Lens are still in a good position to progress from their UCL group, sitting level on points with PSV in second, and another charge for Europe looks on the cards domestically, as Lens are just two points shy of fifth.
