Lens, Recent FormIn their last match Lens enforced their superiority over Clermont Foot with a 3-0 away win. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 10 hitting the target, up against Clermont Foot's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Franck Haise will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 1 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals. They have had a recent run of 5 clean sheets, and playing at home, they have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
Lyon, Recent FormLyon will not be too disheartened with their 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Lille who sit so many places above them in the table. In that game they recorded 47 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 8 of their 15 shots on goal.
Fabio Grosso will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. They've struggled to find their way so far this season, winning just 1 of their 12 league games.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Lens, losing 2-1 to Lyon.
The Les Gones defence has struggled against Lens in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 games.
In this away league fixture, Lyon has not won in the last 3 times they have played Lens at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Lens manager Franck Haise has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ruben Aguilar (Foot), Jimmy Cabot (Cruciate ligament), Óscar Cortés (Thigh), Wuilker Faríñez (Cruciate ligament) and Déiver Machado (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Lyon manager Fabio Grosso ahead of this clash, with Corentin Tolisso (Calf) missing out, which gives Grosso a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
