Lens receive Rennes for another appealing Ligue 1 match here at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Both sides have had enough days rest since their last work day in an official game. Let's look for an energetic match!
Lens form and stats
Lens have only played one Ligue 1 game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 9 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats from 19 matches.
It's back home for Lens, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Monaco away with the result 4-1. Openda, Machado, Fofana and Saïd found the net in that victory. Attacking player Sotoca edged out all the other players in that fixture and managed a match rating of 7.84 out of 10. Sotoca hit three key passes and had 52 successful passes (of 60 total).
Before that, Lens played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Ajaccio.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lens have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 3 and lost 3.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Lens as they have a new game in only four days, a Ligue 1 match thankfully also at home. Lorient are visiting.
