The Lens squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Marseille, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. During that encounter they had 57% possession and had 18 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 13 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Franck Haise will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 13 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.

There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Lorient players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Toulouse. They came away from that fixture with a 50% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Toulouse, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
They have bagged 4 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 14 times in that period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.
Lorient will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 5 league games in a row no wins in 7 games.
Mohamed Bamba has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Lens.
