Top-five chasers Lens will look to get it past the struggling Lyon as the sides meet in Ligue 1 this weekend. This match will be played at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens on Saturday. The hosts are 6th in the standings with 19 points while the visitors are bottom at 18th with seven points. Lens are just one point behind top-five and are in the reckoning in the European spots. They defeated Clermont Foot 3-0 in the last round in Ligue 1, extending their unbeaten run. The hosts have now won five and drawn three of their last eight league matches. That included winning three of their last four league games, drawing the other, and gives them a bit of momentum.

Lyon are still five points behind safety zone and have won just once in the season, losing seven of their 12 matches. They do have a game in hand, but the recent trend hasn’t been any encouraging. They lost to Lille 2-0 in their last league match, which stunted a mini-revival of sorts. Lyon won five points in four matches between October and November before the loss to Lille put things on the back foot once again. Their last away game was a win over Rennes, but otherwise they won just a point across the first four away league matches.
