Lens will open their 2026 activities with a Friday Ligue 1 match at Toulouse. The league leaders are looking to extend the gap when eighth placed Toulouse comes calling. Let’s have a peek at the preview and a prediction for this match.
Toulouse finished 2025 on a high, with three straight wins across all competitions. Their 2-1 victory against Lyon-La Duchere in the French Cup was, however, labored, and this is a chance to do better.
In their last meeting with Lens, Toulouse played to a 1-1 draw, stretching their unbeaten run in this fixture to two. Having won just three of their eight home league matches this season, they carry major concerns here.
Before their loss to Toulouse last season, Lens had gone unbeaten in six meetings with Les Violets. They will be looking to start another such run and they can’t be faulted, having had a strong run lately.
Les Sang et Or have made the most of PSG’s struggles this season and lead the champions by a point. PSG plays two days later and Lens have the chance to put up a four-point buffer.
They easily sailed past Feignies-Aulnoye in the French Cup last time out, winning 3-1. That was the sixth time in seven matches that they scored 2+. However, three clean sheets only in their last 10 matches will pose tough questions.

Our Toulouse vs Lens Prediction
A two-game unbeaten run against Lens will give Toulouse some mental lift coming into this game. However, Lens aren’t in the same form as when they lost and drew with Toulouse last season. They are challenging for the league and have shown real quality in their recent matches.
Lens went into the winter break off the back of an impressive streak, winning seven out of seven. Toulouse haven't had the killer instinct at home so far. This looks like a game that will trouble them. Our prediction for Toulouse v Lens is that Lens wins.
