Lyon - Lens Match Preview

Lyon will play against Lens in one of the most interesting matches in game week.23 in French Ligue 1 and

Lyon is currently in 9th place in the table and this season they are underperforming. They have 32 points, something that is not bad but also not very good. They have really good players like Lacazette, Tolisso, Dembele, Tagliafico, and Lovren. In the last few matches they are playing better and if they can continue like this they can maybe fight for a place that leads to UEFA Europa League.

Lens is in 3rd place in the table, behind only Marseille and PSG. They have 46 points in 22 games played and they will fight until the end for that 3rd place that is leading to next season's UEFA Champions League. Their biggest strength this season is their defence as they have the best defence in the league with only 16 goals allowed in 22 matches.

Both teams played in Coupe De France and both teams won in overtime their games and they are in the quarter-finals. Lyon is playing better in the last few matches but it won't be easy to score against Lens because their defence is the best in the league. In their first 2h2 match this season Lens won 1-0 and I expect that this one will be a similar game without many goals.
