Lens come into this match in excellent form, having won their last two games without conceding a goal, including a very impressive 4-0 away victory. Before that, they had a couple of draws, so they are in a strong run of results. Lyon, on the other hand, have been struggling lately. They have lost three of their last four matches, and in those defeats they have been conceding a lot of goals. However, their overall record against Lens is very good. In their last five meetings, Lyon have won four times and drawn once, and many of those games have seen several goals.

Looking at these recent head-to-head results, Lyon have clearly had the better of this fixture. Lens are in better shape right now, but Lyon’s history in this match is very strong. Given Lyon’s past dominance and that they have been involved in high-scoring games against Lens, this match looks open. I think Lyon are in good form despite their recent losses and will win this match.
