两支刚刚晋级的球队经历了截然不同的赛季。就在这场比赛之前，朗斯在球队中爆发了一波Covid-19疫情。俱乐部没有透露球员的身份，但媒体报道至少有6名首发11名球员。最后一场比赛，伦斯以1:1的平局击败了冠军争夺者里昂。主教练弗兰克·海斯和他的球员们继续感到惊讶，欧罗巴联赛不再是一个梦想，因为球队在三个月前败给尼斯之后一直都处于连胜状态。受Covid-19影响，朗斯失去了许多球员，必须应对重组的团队。巴德，福法纳、加纳戈、麦地那和毛里西奥受到Covid-19的影响，索托卡受伤。

洛里昂在法甲的12场比赛中只输了2场，目前已经脱离了危险区，尽管排名18位的尼姆离佩利西耶的球队只有3分的差距。但是到目前为止，他们在客场只赢了一场。球队目前阵容完整——经验丰富的后卫杰里米·莫雷尔回归，门将纳迪也从禁赛中复出。

看好洛里昂不败。
