Strasbourg, Recent FormStrasbourg will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Metz. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 4 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Metz, who had 13 shots on goal with 1 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Stade de la Meinau, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
Lens, Recent FormLens will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Toulouse. They came away from that fixture with a 61% share of the possession and clocked up 26 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Toulouse, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Their boss Franck Haise is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 6 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Results have been poor for Lens recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Florian Sotoca will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Strasbourg in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Lens.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Lens came out on top, winning the match 2-1.
Strasbourg will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 17 encounters with Les Sang et Or.
Kévin Gameiro has scored in each of Strasbourg's last 2 league games against Lens.
With only Karol Fila (Cruciate ligament) and Ibrahima Sissoko (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Patrick Vieira will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
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), Massadio Haïdara (Thigh) and David Pereira da Costa (Dislocated shoulder)
