Lens are heading into this local derby in strong form, having won their last two away games without conceding a goal. They are playing with a lot of confidence and will feel good about their chances. Lille, on the other hand, have had a more mixed recent run, with two wins, two draws, and one defeat in their last five matches, which suggests they are not at their sharpest.

Looking at the history between these two, goals tend to be few and far between. The last three meetings have all ended 1-0 or 3-0, with plenty of tight, low-scoring affairs. With Lens in better shape and Lille struggling to find consistency, this match looks like a close, hard-fought contest. Lens will likely win.
