Lyon, Recent FormLyon will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 away win against Metz. In that game they had 62% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Metz who had 15 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Pierre Sage will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, and this season they have notched up 5 clean sheets in 12 games at Groupama Stadium.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row.
When it comes to home matches at Groupama Stadium, Alexandre Lacazette will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 6 league goals for Lyon in their last 6 home games.
Lens, Recent FormThe Lens squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against Monaco, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with a 59% share of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 10 on target, in comparison to Monaco, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 9 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Franck Haise will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
David Pereira da Costa will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Lens.
It was not a positive ending for Lyon last time they met Lens in the league, with the game ending in a 3-2 defeat.
Les Sang et Or will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Lyon, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 7 meetings between the two.
In the league, Lyon has a good track record when they host Lens, getting the better of them in their last 3 home games.
