Lens will be hoping to keep PSG close when the French Ligue 1 resumes, as they are set for a trip to Montpellier on Match Day 10. They are the closest challengers to the league leaders, being second with 18 points, six below PSG and eight above their hosts, Motpellier, who are 13th in the standings. Montpellier have conceded the most goals (16) among the top 14 teams and they have no win in their last four matches. They are coming from a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg and have failed to score in just one of their last nine matches this season – a loss to PSG. In those nine matches, they have managed just two wins and in four of them, they’ve conceded in both halves. At home, they have just two clean sheets in the last 10 league matches, and they go to this game unbeaten in the last four, but the last two ended in draws.

Lens head to this game with two straight wins and four in the last five. Just like Montpellier, they aren’t the best defensively and have managed just three clean sheets in the last nine. The 10 goals they’ve conceded so far makes them the poorest in defence among the teams in the top four. Lens have however compensated that with good numbers in attack, having scored 16 in nine matches in Ligue 1 so far. They head into this game having scored two or more goals in six of their last eight matches, and in five of the nine in the league, they’ve scored in both halves. Lens go to this game unbeaten in the last four away league matches, winning three straight, and scoring two or more in the three wins.
