Lens form and stats

Four points from two away games for Lens, meaning one draw and one victory in the Ligue 1 so far.

Lens go into this game after a win, the home game against Lorient that ended 5-2. A bonkers match with an abundance of goals last time out for Lens, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that game, will this match be as gleeful? Which player has bagged at least one goal three games in a row for the away team? The correct answer is Openda and that is impressive stuff! Sotoca, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 9.03. Sotoca scored two goals, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 45 successful passes (of 52 total).

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Rennes.

Lens have the goal stats of 4-1 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Lens have avoided a loss in the last 4 games (2-2-0) against Reims.
