Lyon is heading into this match in very poor form, having lost four of their last five games. They have been conceding a lot of goals recently, which is a major concern. Lens, on the other hand, has been more balanced, with a win, a couple of draws, and two losses in their last five outings. While neither team is on a hot streak, Lens has shown a bit more stability lately.

Looking at their recent meetings, the story is interesting. Lens has been a tough opponent for Lyon, winning three of the last five encounters. Most of those games have been close and low-scoring affairs, with only a handful of goals in each match. Given Lyon's defensive struggles and Lens's solid recent record against them, this looks like a very close match where a draw or a narrow win for Lyon seems the most likely outcome.
