This will be the first-ever interaction between these clubs.
Lens are all set to host AS Roma for a pre-season friendly game. These teams are ready to come up with an entertaining fixture, which is scheduled to take place at the Stade Félix Bollaert-Delélis.
RC Lens will be at home and which is going to be one of the advantages for them. Their 2024-25 was not the best, as they were able to deliver only average performances. The Ligue 1 side are coming in after taking down Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last pre-season game and will now be looking for another win.
AS Roma have also been a part of three pre-season games, and they have come out victorious in all of them. The Serie A club will be keen to continue their winning run here. They secured a close win against Kaiserslautern in their previous game.

Players to Watch
Deiver Machado (Lens)
Despite being a wing-back, Deiver Machado came in with a brace. It was an all-around effort by the 31-year-old. He will be looking to step up yet again and help his side from the left flank.
Evan Ferguson (Roma)
The Irish forward will once again play an important role in the attacking front for AS Roma. Evan Ferguson is the newest addition to Roma and scored a match-winning goal on his debut for the Serie A club. He will have to step up here to deliver yet another special performance.
This will be their first-ever meeting.
