Match Facts
Lens are unbeaten in their two previous UEFA Champions League games against Arsenal, drawing at home (1-1) and winning away (1-0) in 1998-99. This is the first meeting between the sides since the 1999-00 UEFA Cup semi-final, with Arsenal winning 3-1 on aggregate (1-0 home, 2-1 away).
Arsenal's first ever UEFA Champions League game was away to Lens, 25 years and 17 days ago. Marc Overmars gave the Gunners the lead, before Tony Vaireilles' last minute equaliser for the French side.
Arsenal have lost just one of their 14 away games against French sides in all competitions (W8 D5), going down 3-1 at Rennes in the UEFA Europa League in March 2019. The Gunners are unbeaten in eight such visits in the UEFA Champions League (W6 D2), though did lose the 2006 final in Paris.
Lens have scored at least once in each of their last 33 home games in all European competitions (78 goals), starting this run against Arsenal in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in 1998-99. In the 21st century, they are the team with the most European home games without failing to score once (23).
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last nine UEFA Champions League group stage games (W7 D2), beating PSV 4-0 on their return to the competition this season. Only between November 2003 and September 2006 (17) have they had longer run without defeat in the group stages.
Arsenal scored four goals from an Expected Goals total of 2.3 against PSV on MD1, a 1.7 differential – only Barcelona (2.1 – 5 goals, 2.9 xG) outperformed their xG more in the opening round of games.
In their two previous UEFA Champions League campaigns (1998-99 and 2002-03), Lens lost just one of their six home matches (W3 D2). They won their last two in 2002-03, beating Deportivo de La Coruña and eventual winners Milan.
No player had more shots following a ball carry on MD1 of this season's UEFA Champions League than Lens striker Elye Wahi (3).
