Lille vs Lens Analysis
Lille Preview
The increased pressure this weekend will likely be on Lille, as they require maximum points to move level with Monaco in the race for a Champions League position. They have been difficult to beat in recent weeks, going three without a loss.
However, only one victory has been recorded over that period, meaning that Nice have been allowed to cut the gap on the home side this week. The Lille scores show that they have won eleven times in 26 matches this term, which is the fewest of any team in the top six.
Their recent form would be a massive concern ahead of this fixture, but the fact that they have been difficult to beat does at least indicate that they look good value to pick up at least a point.
This will be Lille’s 40th game with Paulo Fonseca in the dugout, with the coach having lost just 7.7% of his home matches in control of the team. That is the lowest percentage of any coach in the club’s history.
Lens Preview
This could almost be seen as a must-win clash for Lens in Ligue 1 this weekend, as maximum points could see them emerge as the main danger to Monaco in the race for a Champions League finish in France’s top division this season.
The French side comes into this round after winning two of their last three matches, but they have suffered two defeats in their last four. Therefore, the Lens results will need to be more consistent if they are to challenge for a position in the top three.
Their form against the top teams in France would be a concern, as they have picked up just four points from their last six in the league against sides that have started the day in the top half.
However, the Ligue 1 player stats show that they have excellent defensive players. Lens has kept eight clean sheets in its last ten games on the road in the league.
