Lens Preview – Can Lens jump into 2nd place?
There’s plenty at stake for both teams heading into this Monday night clash in Ligue 2 with Lens having a golden opportunity to grab all three points which would see the hosts jump into 2nd spot and one of the automatic promotion places.
Recent results have produced a mixed return for Lens though as they’ve registered wins against Troyes and Paris FC but in-between these two wins were back-to-back defeats to Chateauroux and Caen, so they can’t anything for granted here.
Lens still possess a decent looking home record though with stats of 8-3-2 18/9 despite defeat last time out on home turf to Caen, but the hosts had previously put together a 10-match unbeaten sequence at their Stade Bollaert-Delelis so they’ll be confident that they can bounce back here.
In addition, Lens have won the last three encounters on the trot against Orleans.
Orleans Preview – Can Orleans grab a lifeline?
As mentioned earlier, Orleans sit bottom of Ligue 2 and find themselves in a real mess ahead of this tough assignment away from home at Lens on Monday night as the visitors are 9 points adrift of fourth from bottom outfit, Paris FC, and safety.
It seems as though US Orleans are sunk unless they can pull off something special over the next few weeks, starting with a win on the road at Lens tonight, but having lost 5 of their last 6 matches overall in the French second tier, the odds seem heavily stacked against them.
The visitors did record a much-needed 2-1 win away at Le Havre last time out on their travels which ended a miserable run of 4 defeats on the trot on the road, but an overall poor away record that stands at 2-5-6 13/19 tells its own story.
