Lens will prepare to do battle with Brest at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Sunday in Ligue 1 as they try to pull themselves back into the Champions League spots. Lens has been very good this season and occupied the second spot in the league for months before slipping to third last week, following their 1-0 loss to Nice in their last match, which also brought their 10-match unbeaten run to an end. Lens is on 45 points in 21 games, one behind Marseille, who overtook them, and six behind league leaders PSG. Their form on the road has been good, losing only once in 10 matches, but they will feel as though they could have converted a few more of their draws into wins. Lens has recorded two wins, six draws, and one loss on the road this term but will be confident that they can build on that record in this one.

Brest comes into this match in 15th place in the league, with 19 points in 21 games, just one point above the drop zone and two behind Montpellier above them. The visitors managed to pull off a good 1-1 draw to Lyon in their last match, which extended their unbeaten run to four matches, with one win and three draws. Brest’s home form needs improving if they want to pull away from the relegation zone, with a record including just two wins in ten matches, along with four draws and four losses. Brest came out on the wrong side of a 3-2 scoreline in the reverse fixture in August but will be hoping that they can redeem themselves in front of their home fans.
