RC Lens of Will Still has had a spotty campaign. With the team 7W-6D-5L, their inconsistency stands out. Against PSG, that battling spirit and fragility in defence were evident when Lens fought hard to only concede a 2-1 defeat to a very dominant PSG, although they created two big chances and commanded 33% possession. Lens just struggle to turn big moments into points.
At home, Lens have been vulnerable, taking home just one win in their last five home matches, 1W-1D-3L. However, they remain a dangerous team with forward M'Bala Nzola, who scored against PSG, leading their attack. Lens usually make a very strong beginning to their matches, having taken the lead in five of their last seven games. The inability to keep clean sheets is an issue, though, conceding in five straight games.
Key Stats:
Home Form: 1W-1D-3L in the last five.
Streaks: GG in 4 of their last 5 games; under 10.5 corners in 8 of their last 9.
Angers SCO
Angers SCO is at its best run this season with five consecutive wins that have taken them to 12th place. Under the brilliant leadership of Alexandre Dujeux, Angers have been very solid on the road, where they have won four of their last five away games on the road, including the last three (4W-1L). Last week, Angers beat Auxerre 2-0 comfortably, with Esteban Lepaul giving them the go-ahead goal.
Angers have built their good form of late on rapid-fire starts, opening the scoring in each of their last five matches, leading at half-time in four of them, conceding just two goals in five games, and this will make Angers a force to be reckoned with come Sunday.
Key Stats:
Away Form: 4W-1L in the last five.
Streaks: 5 consecutive wins; under 10.5 corners in 8 of their last 9 games.
