After suffering a devastating blow in the Champions League this week, Lens will shift their focus to Ligue 1 when they host Lyon on Saturday at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Domestically, Les Sang et Or are just a point behind Reims for fifth after defeating Clermont 3-0 last Saturday, while L'OL remained at the bottom of the table, losing 2-0 versus Lille.
After suffering such a comprehensive defeat, focusing on the league might be the best medicine for this side, especially seeing as they are just a point out of a European place next season and are unbeaten in eight successive league fixtures.
Domestically, Franck Haise has steered his side back on course following a subpar opening to the campaign, which saw them claim just one point from their first five matches.
Lens conceded 11 goals in the opening five matchdays of the new domestic campaign, but the best defensive unit in the French top flight a season ago seem to be back to their old selves, posting five successive clean sheets in this competition.
