Seven points from three matches has been satisfying so far for Lens, who will want to hit 10 when they host Lyon. The two sides face off in the fourth round of Ligue 1 this Sunday, Lyon hoping for their second win. We have the prediction for this match below.

Lens left it late in their 1-1 draw with Monaco before the international break. Having just suffered Conference League elimination, they seemed to be heading to a second straight loss.

However, Przemyslaw Frankowski’s penalty saved the day. It is a result that halted their perfect start, and also saw them concede for the first time this season.

Lens started their domestic season with wins against Angers and Brest and are unbeaten in six league matches now. At home in the league, they have three wins in the last five matches.

Like last season, Lyon are enduring a tough start in Ligue 1. They are coming into Match Day 4 having lost their opening two matches. Les Gones have already conceded eight goals while in total their matches have seen 12 goals netted.

On account of goals scored, Lyon’s matches have been among the most entertaining. This will be true to the neutrals, especially who followed their last outing before the international break. Lyon, in danger of a third straight defeat, rose from 3-1 down after 60 minutes, to beat Strasbourg 4-3.

Having failed to score in the opening two matches, this was a massive performance and Pierre Sage will hope to see more of that fighting spirit. That will be key in view that Lyon lost their last two matches against Lens.
