Lens to face Standard Liège in friendly during the international break
RC Lens will play a friendly against Standard Liège on 2 October to keep match sharpness during the international trêve.
RC Lens will use the international break to stay match-fit, with a friendly versus Standard Liège, according to L'Équipe.
The game is set for 2 October. The idea is straightforward: keep the momentum while players are away on international duty, so Lens returns to league action with rhythm rather than only training ground work.
Standard Liège, meanwhile, are described by the same outlet as currently sixth in Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League, giving the friendly a proper competitive edge.
A sharpness check
With the date already in place, the friendly offers Lens a useful benchmark against a team playing at a high level in a top domestic competition.
