Lens - Lille Match Preview

Lens will host Lille at Stade Bollaert-Delelis Lens in this French Ligue 1 football match.

Lens is currently in 4th spot in Ligue 1 and it will be a huge success for them if they win a UEFA Champions League spot for the next season considering the fact that they are a club that has focused on young players. Two teams are in front of them, Monaco and Marseille, having only 2 points more, so the Champions League is a realistic target for them. In the last game, they got a draw against Montpellier. They have the best defense in the league with only 20 goals allowed in 25 matches.

Lille is in 6th place with 44 points. If they win here they would close the gap from 4th-placed Lens to only 3 points. They are playing differently than Lens as they attack more but their defense is also much weaker. They have allowed 32 goals in 25 matches. They have some really good, talented, attacking players and it will be interesting to see how this match will end. 

Lens is the best home team in the league with 11 wins and 1 loss in 12 matches. They have allowed only 9 goals. They won against Lyon, Rennes, PSG at home and this will tough match for both teams but it is very important and both will be cautious. They played earlier this season in the cup competition and it was a 2-2 draw at the end but this time I don't expect so many goals.
