Lens, Recent FormLens won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 home defeat to Metz, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. In that game they had 75% possession and managed 31 attempts on goal, with 10 on target, compared to Metz who had 2 attempts and 2 on target.
Franck Haise, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 7 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.
Toulouse, Recent FormToulouse will have been reasonably pleased with their 0-0 draw against Marseille, not least because of the valuable point gained. They came away from that fixture with a 40% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Marseille, who managed 24 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
Carles Martínez Novell will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Toulouse will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Zakaria Aboukhlal will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Toulouse.
The 0-1 victory which Lens recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
Le Téfécé have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with Lens. It's been a long time since Le Téfécé have managed to find the back of the net against Lens, having failed to score against them in their last 4 league encounters. Toulouse have struggled to break down the Les Sang et Or defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 1 time in their last 5 meetings.
Toulouse will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've faced Lens in the league.
Lens manager Franck Haise has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ruben Aguilar (Foot), Jimmy Cabot (Cruciate ligament), Wuilker Faríñez (Cruciate ligament) and David Pereira da Costa (Dislocated shoulder) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Naatan Skyttä (Ankle) and Oliver Zandén (Hip) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Carles Martínez Novell will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
