Havre AC manager Luka Elsner will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 3-0 away defeat by Marseille. Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Marseille, who had 14 shots on goal with 6 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
It's been mixed fortunes for Havre AC at Stade Océane recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Nabil Alioui will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Havre AC.

Grabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Lille will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Lens. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Lille who had 8 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Franck Haise will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Florian Sotoca will be hoping to create problems for Havre AC in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Lens.
Havre AC vs. Lens Head to head
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
Lens has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Havre AC, being unable to find a win from any of their last 8 league meetings at Stade Océane.
With only Alois Confais (Knee) and Oussama Targhalline (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Luka Elsner will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Lens Injury News
Franck Haise has a number of injury concerns in his Lens squad to contend with: Ruben Aguilar (Foot), Jimmy Cabot (Cruciate ligament), Wuilker Faríñez (Cruciate ligament) and Massadio Haïdara (Thigh)
