Lens vs Toulouse

Lens will be looking to maintain the pressure on leaders PSG when they host Toulouse in a Friday night French Ligue 1 fixture.

The hosts are enjoying a fine campaign built on a solid home form and should be full of confidence heading into this clash. They should be too strong for the visitors, who have found things difficult on their recent travels.

Lens News

Lens are the only real challengers to champions PSG as they sit second in the table, four points off the pace. Pierre Sage’s team will come into this clash well rested, having not played last weekend after their clash against the Parisians was postponed.

The last Ligue 1 outing for Lens was a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Lille, and they will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways. The good news is that they are back in front of their fans on Friday and have won 13 of their last 14 home matches across all competitions.

Lens are generally sharp in attack and have scored in 13 of their last 14 home matches across all competitions. Nine of their last 10 matches in all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals, while they have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of those fixtures.

Toulouse News

Toulouse are currently 10th in the table and are pushing for a comfortable mid-table finish. They travel to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis off the back of a 4-0 home defeat to Lille in their previous fixture.

That defeat is part of a rough patch for Toulouse, who are winless in nine of their last 10 Ligue 1 matches, suffering six defeats in this run. Carlos Martinez’s team are also poor on their travels, losing four of their last five away matches in the league.

Poor defending has been a major problem for Toulouse, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 across all competitions. However, they have scored in four of their last five away matches, with all four fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Lens have 12 wins while Toulouse have picked up four victories, with seven draws in the last 23 matches. The hosts claimed a 3-0 away victory in the reverse fixture back in January.

Verdict

Lens v Toulouse

Lens have a dominant record in this fixture and have been almost unstoppable at home lately. They should get the better of Toulouse, who are looking out of sorts at the moment.

Nine of Lens’ last 10 matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals, which is likely to be the outcome on Friday. With neither defence showing much solidity lately, both teams could be backed to score.
