Lens vs Feignies-Aulnoye Prediction and Betting Tips | December 19th 2025

Lens will face Feignies-Aulnoye at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Friday in the round of 64 of the 2025-26 Coupe de France campaign. The home side have been nothing short of a revelation under new boss Pierre Sage this season, currently leading the Ligue 1 standings with the campaign just one game short of its midpoint. They will head into this weekend’s cup tie in high spirits.

Lens have finally been handed a more comfortable draw in their Coupe de France opener after beginning their campaigns against Monaco in 2023-24 and record champions Paris Saint-Germain last season. They lost both of those ties and will be targeting a more favourable outcome this time around.

Feignies-Aulnoye, meanwhile, kicked off their cup campaign last month with a 4-0 away win over Cambrai, with Pascal Dofour playing a central role by scoring a second-half brace. They then followed that up with a 2-0 victory over APM Metz in the second round, with Dofour once again getting on the scoresheet.

The visitors, who currently ply their trade in the fourth tier, reached this stage of the tournament last season before ultimately losing 2-1 to five-time champions Olympique Lyonnais. They have now been drawn against another top-flight side and, although the odds are firmly against them, will look to enjoy the occasion.

Lens vs Feignies-Aulnoye Prediction

Les Sang et Or head into the weekend clash on an outstanding six-game winning run and have won nine of their last 10 matches. They have claimed victory in each of their last seven home games and will only need to avoid complacency to extend that streak this weekend.

Despite winning three of their last four matches, Feignies-Aulnoye remain heavy underdogs heading into the weekend clash and will need something close to a miracle to progress in the cup on Friday.
