Lens take on the visitors Tours at “Stade Bollaert-Delelis” in the round 19 of the French Ligue 2. The game will be played on Monday, December 18th.
Two recent years Lens have been fighting for the promotion to the elite division, but it was in vain. In this season the club had failed three starting months in the Ligue 2 and began pick up points permanently only in the latest fights. The side recorded five triumphs, four draws and two losses in 11 recent clashes since the 29th of September. With 18 matchdays behind, Lens settle on the 17th position in the table with 18 points taken and 25-23 goal difference, being at the edge of relegation. The team got four victories and four defeats with 14 goals for and 11 goals against in eight home fights.

Last time Tours managed to collect points in the Ligue 2 was on the 3rd of November, followed it with five consecutive losses with 3:11 aggregated score. After 18 games played, the side occupies the last 20th place in the Ligue 2 standings with only five points gained and 10-37 goal difference. Tours deserved just two points with three goals for and 17 goals against in nine games conducted on the road.
Lens have not been beaten by Tours in five latest head-to-heads, having earned three draws and two triumphs in them. Taking into account the clubs’ results in this season, I presume that the hosts must gain three points. In this season Tours take points rarely and with great difficulties not only at away grounds, but also in general while Lens have substantially improved their play in recent clashes.
Prediction for the match: Lens to win.
