Command Analysis

Lyon

Lyon launched a solid unbeaten run - in five latest matches team had four victories and one draw. However, only three of these games were in Ligue 1 and all against weaker opponents.

Before that, the Lions had a string of poor results, so right now the Lions are still at mid-table - 10th place with 32 points in the asset. Team is five points away from the 8th.

Lens

Lens had a fantastic first half of the season. Club has been at the 2nd position in Ligue 1 for a long time, but the Blood and Golds dropped way too many points recently. With 46 points, team is currently at the 3rd place, losing to Marseille on tiebreakers.

Franck Haise's men managed to win only one of five latest matches, but Lens also had only one defeat in that period. Other three matches ended in draws for the Blood and Golds.

We are expecting a high-scoring game here. Lyon are lower in the standings, but their recent results are quite impressive. Lens, on the other hand, won only one of five latest matches. Both clubs also played in Coupe de France this week. Opponents are unlikely to put up a solid defensive performance.
