Strasbourg will hope to tighten their loose ends as they welcome Lens for their Match Day 7 Ligue 1 clash. The weekend starts with Le Racing in eighth place while Les Sang et Or are two places ahead. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Before the last international break, Strasbourg lost a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3 to Lyon. As another international break approaches, they have a tough game and will be keen not to let points slip.

In the aftermath of that defeat by Lyon, Strasbourg have made big steps, going unbeaten in three matches. The most recent of them yielded a 1-0 win over Marseille and Strasbourg will want to claim another big scalp before the two-week break.

Lens will also hope to head into the international break on a high after a run of unconvincing results. The visitors’ season started well, with three straight wins across all competitions.

However, in the last five matches, they haven't been able to post a win. That run came with their elimination from Europe. While they remain unbeaten in Ligue 1, four straight draws haven't represented much movement towards the top.

Lens take pride in being a solid defensive side, but as they must have learnt, all that without goals doesn’t yield much. They failed to score in three of their last five matches, the most recent being in a 0-0 draw with Nice.
