Lille are having a tough start to the season as they go on the defence of their Ligue 1 title. They are set to travel to Lens for their round six Ligue 1 game, hoping to improve on their one win so far. Lille are 12th and on five points going to this game, while Lens are fifth on nine points. Hosts Lens are coming from a 3-2 win over Bordeaux, their second win of the season and will be gunning for their opening home win of the season, having drawn both their opening games at home. Lens have shown great flashes in attack and also good fighting spirit. They’ve scored two or more goals in their last four matches and both teams have scored in four of their last five matches. In three of their last five matches they’ve been forced to come from behind and registered draws from losing positions though they’ve conceded twice in three of their last five matches. In the five matches, Lens have managed just one clean sheet.

Lille are unbeaten in 10 matches against Lens; in their last meeting, away at Lens, Lille won 3-0 in May, on their way to claiming the Ligue 1 title. They will hope for more of this when they get to face off, after a tough start that has seen them win just once in the last five matches. Lille are coming from a 0-0 draw with Wolfsburg in the Champions League, that being one of two games in which they’ve failed to score in the last five. Both teams have scored in three of their last five matches and they’ve conceded two or more goals in two of five. Three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals while Lille are winless in their last three away matches, drawing two and losing one.
