Lens take on the visitors Laval at “Stade Bollaert-Delelis” in the matchday 35 of the Ligue 2. The game will be played on Monday, May 1st.
All season long Lens were one of the leaders and main contenders for promotion to the Ligue 1, however, “Sang et Or” got three defeats in four April games: vs. Brest 0:2, Auxerre 0:1 and Le Havre 0:1 which made their task to promote to the elite division more complicated. After 34 matches played, Lens share the fourth-sixth places in the standings with Reims and Nimes with 55 points gained and 49-38 goal difference being two points behind the third position. At their own turf Lens recorded 26 points taken with 22 goals for and 17 goals against. It should be noted that the team lost two recent clashes at the home field.

Laval were defeated by Strasbourg with 1:2 scoreline in front of their supporters last gameweek which practically guaranteed their relegation to the National. After 34 rounds the side occupies the last place in the standings with 30 points earned and 31-42 goal difference. «Les Tangos» are nine points behind the saving 17th place with only four matchdays left to the end of the season. On the road Laval demonstrate weak results, having gained 13 points with 12 goals for and 21 goals against.
Lens have never lost to Laval in their 10 head-to-heads, although they won only three times alongside with seven draws. Neither of the teams will be satisfied with a draw in Monday match, therefore, I believe that the host team will get a triumph in the matchup and goes on fighting for promotion to the Ligue 1.
Prediction for the match: Lens to win.
