The latest Ligue 1 fixtures begin with Lens hosting Strasbourg. The hosts start this round in second, six points behind leaders PSG with the visitors in 16th place. Lens are keeping the pressure up on leaders PSG with a 1-0 win over Rennes in their last matchday. That made it three wins in a row in the league and extended their unbeaten run to six matches, four wins and two draws. What works for them is their impressive defensive record with Lens conceding only 21 goals so far – the lowest by any club in Ligue 1 this season. The record at home is equally impressive with Lens losing only once all season in Ligue 1 at this venue, winning 12 of 14.

Strasbourg are only out of the relegation zone on goal difference. Their most recent game saw them lose 4-3 to Monavo after leading 2-0. With an inconsistent form over their last eight league matches – winning three, drawing two and losing three – Strasbourg have refused to move into safer zones. This has meant that they could possibly be ending this matchday in relegation zone if they fail to win here and results go adversely in the other matches. Worryingly enough, Strasbourg’s away form is one of concern. They haven’t won in five straight away league games, drawing two and losing three, including that loss at Monaco.
