In their last game, Lens met Nantes on Sunday and it finished in a 3:1 win at home. Up until its latest encounter, the outfit was going through a winless streak of five games, recording 2 losses and 3 draws in the process. Performing at home was of little help throughout the last ten Lens meetings as the hosts won 3 times and the guests won 3 times. Two of Lens’ five previous matches finished with more than 2.5 goals and all bar one saw both involved sides finding the back of the nets. The players of Lens left their hearts on the field but still did not manage to prevent their opponents from scoring and they failed to net goals on their own in only one of those encounter. There were a total of 12 goals scored across the team’s five most recent games.
