Before the start of the new season Lens were considered to be one of the contenders for promotion to the Ligue 1. However, the team has failed the start of the season having lost all four encounters with 5-10 goal difference resulting in the club’s occupying the 19th position of the standings of 20 teams after four matchdays played. In the Coupe de la Ligue Lens earned the only win in this season, having defeated AC Ajaccio with 2:1 scoreline at their home field.
Last time Lorient lost to Lens was on the 24th of September 2008 although the rivals didn’t meet too often with the head-to-head history counting for seven games two of which were finished in draws and five of them were won by Lorient. Taking into consideration the start of the current season the hosting side has good chances to extend its unbeaten series in this season in whole and with Lens in particular.
Prediction for the match: Lorient to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
