Lens host Como at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Wednesday, November 4 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).
Lens have no fresh team-news concerns ahead of this one and look set to lean on Florian Thauvin, who has created 15 chances and scored a goal across 212 minutes so far. Como, also with nobody sidelined, will again be built around Anastasios Douvikas, who has scored 3 goals in just 185 minutes, with Nicolás Paz Martínez supporting from deeper after 2 goals and 3 assists of his own.
Lens arrive off back-to-back defeats, beaten 3-0 away at Club Brugge and 0-2 at home by Sporting CP, and they sit on 3 points with a goal difference of -4 after 3 games. Como, by contrast, head to northern France on 6 points and a +5 goal difference, having beaten Manchester United 4-1 at home in their last outing despite a 3-2 defeat at Feyenoord before that. With Thauvin still able to unlock defenses for the hosts and Douvikas finishing so freely for the visitors, this one looks set to open up at both ends.

Lens vs Como Prediction
Como’s attack have too much quality for a Lens side still searching for their attacking spark, and the Signal model sees this finishing 1-2 to the visitors. Como sit on 6 points and a +5 goal difference against Lens’s 3 points and -4, and with Douvikas and Paz Martínez combining for 5 goals between them already this season, a narrow win in France fits the pattern. Expect Thauvin to get Lens on the board, but not enough to stop Como taking the points.
