Lens, Recent FormLens had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Rennes. During that encounter they had 43% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 16 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Franck Haise will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 15 games in a row, and they have recorded 14 clean sheets in the 33 games they've played so far this season.
It's been a mixed run of form for Lens recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Montpellier, Recent FormWith Monaco sitting a clear 10 places above them in the table, Montpellier won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 home defeat by them last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Monaco had 19 shots on goal with 9 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Téji Savanier will be hoping to create problems for Lens in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Montpellier.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Lens have managed to keep a clean sheet against La Paillade in each of their previous 2 meetings at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Playing away from home, Montpellier have conceded a goal in 3 of their last 3 league games against Lens. In their past 5 meetings, Les Sang et Or's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Montpellier will have to take their chances when they come.
In the league, Lens has a good track record when they host Montpellier, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Lens manager Franck Haise has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ruben Aguilar (Foot), Jhoanner Chávez (Thigh) and Kevin Danso (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Benjamin Lecomte (Tendon) being out for the rest of the season and Kiki Kouyaté (Hip) also unavailable in the shorter term, Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
