Troyes, Recent FormPatrick Kisnorbo will have some work to do building up his players after their 5-1 away thrashing at the hands of Lille. During that encounter they had 33% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 13 of their 23 shots on goal.
Kisnorbo\ will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 6 goals scored. Having not hit the back of the net in 2 games, the goals seem to have dried up for them recently when playing at home. Having shipped at least a single goal in 18 of their 19 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
A home win for Troyes is just a distant memory, having not won at Stade de L'Aube in 7 games.
Mama Baldé will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Troyes.
Lens, Recent FormLens have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 home win against Auxerre in their previous league match. In that game they had 68% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Auxerre who had 6 attempts and 1 on target.
Manager Franck Haise will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. With 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home.
There will be mixed feelings from Les Artésiens, having been undefeated in their last 4 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
Wesley Saïd has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Troyes.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 1-0 win for Lens.
The Les Artésiens defence has struggled at Stade de L'Aube, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits.
Troyes will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've faced Lens in the league.
Kevin Danso has scored in each of Lens' last 0 league games against Troyes.
There is only really one injury concern for the Troyes manager Patrick Kisnorbo ahead of this clash, with Lucien Agoumé (Unknown) missing out, which gives Kisnorbo a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With Adam Buksa (Ankle) and Jimmy Cabot (Cruciate ligament) both unavailable and Wuilker Faríñez (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season, Lens manager Franck Haise will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
