Ligue 1
analysis
Lens enters this fixture with a massive weight on their shoulders as they sit just one point off the top of the table. While their recent results have been a bit of a rollercoaster, their home form is what keeps the fans believing.
They haven’t seen a draw at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in nearly twenty games, which tells you everything about their “win or bust” mentality. Angers is comfortably in the middle of the pack, but they’ve looked blunt lately, failing to score in several recent outings.
History is also heavily on the side of the hosts, who have beaten Angers in six consecutive meetings.
Given that Lens has scored in twenty straight matches across all competitions, the pressure they apply early on should be enough to break down an Angers side that is essentially playing for pride at this stage.
