Earlier in this sequence, they lost 2-0 at home to Nantes in Ligue 1 and won 6-0 away at Bourg-Peronnas in the Coupe de France, giving them three wins and two losses from their last five matches.

Liverpool travel to the south of France with an unbeaten recent record, though their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw against Burnley on January 17th.
