A key match in Ligue 2 as both teams are battling for the top positions. With the home team in 3rd position and the visitors placed 5th, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Ligue 2. That game was also an away game, at Paris. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Paris. There's been little rest and some travel, but Lens will do their best.
