  • Beauvais have the most points (29) away in CFA Group B

Lens II are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Beauvais is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Lens II form and stats

With 2 CFA Group B wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Lens II are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home CFA Group B games in a row without a win, the Lens II fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Haguenau game long ago, can be stopped today.

The Lens supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Stade François Blin: A 1-2 defeat against Olympique St Quentin (placed 9th).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Bobigny (2-3).

Lens II have scored 13 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.
