Lens head coach Antoine Kombouare has claimed that his side will relish taking on Ligue 1 title hopefuls Marseille.

Kombouare's side picked up their first win of 2015 by beating Toulouse 1-0 last weekend, and he is confident of building on that crucial victory as they continue their bid to avoid relegation.

"Our working week was a much happier one after the victory over Toulouse," he told the club's official website. "Even more so because it was such a difficult match.

"We have an opportunity to string two wins together, and it's fantastic that we get to go for it against Marseille.

"They may be stronger than us technically, but not in terms of motivation - that is just not possible."

Lens are currently nine points adrift of 17th-placed Lorient in the table.
