Saint Etienne
Lens finds themselves in a must-win situation as they face the league’s weakest defense Saint-Étienne, who have conceded a staggering 63 goals in just 27 matches.
Lens is coming off a disappointing performance against Lille, where they only came to life in the final stages of the match, ultimately losing 1-0. However, they now have a much more favorable matchup ahead. Saint-Étienne has been a familiar and manageable opponent, with Lens winning four and drawing one of their last five encounters.
What we say
Lens to Win
The gap to the top six is widening, with Lens now trailing by seven points. This match presents a crucial opportunity, and it’s one they are expected to control from start to finish. They’re up against a Saint-Étienne side that has managed just one win in 14 away games and has conceded a league-high 40 goals on the road. All signs point to Lens taking charge in this one.
