Lens conquered seven points from their last three matches and started off drawing 0-0 with AC Ajaccio. Next up was a 1-4 win against Monaco, before Rennes were defeated in 2-1 win. Lens managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the Ligue 1, where they also drew twice and lost none. They scored 14 goals and conceded seven times.

Lens have their target set on sneaking inside the top six of the Ligue 1 this season, and they have the qualities to at least a finish inside the top third.

Lorient claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Ligue 1. They also drew two and were defeated three times, as they were outscored by 14 goals to five.

Staying clear of finishing inside the relegation zone is probably the best Lorient can aim for this season. Each and every point counts from the word go.

Lens are well up for the task of building on their current momentum, and we expect them to deliver the goods in their upcoming clash at Stade Bollaert-Delelis against visitors Lorient.
