Florian Thauvin and Odsonne Edouard have been pivotal for Lens’s attack, under Pierre Sage’s guidance, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Said has already scored ten goals in Ligue 1 this season, as Udol continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with seven assists. Adrien Thomasson, Abdallah Sima and Mamadou Sangare have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Lens’s attack.

Meanwhile, Metz’s attacking options, crafted under Benoit Tavenot’s leadership, have been bolstered by Gauthier Hein, the team’s top scorer, and Habib Diallo, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. In Ligue 1, Hein has been Metz’s standout scorer with six goals, and has also shown his creativity, leading the team with four assists this campaign.
