Lens take on the visitors Toulouse in the round 13 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, October 28th at Stade Bollaert-Delelis (Lens).
Lens have been the flagship of French football 2 decades ago, at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century. But after that, there were many serious problems - suffice it to say that only in 2020, the "blood-gold" were able to return to the country's top division. In the last cycle, there was a relatively high 7th place in the final standings. But it's only now that I've really been surprised. Frank Hayes' men are coming to the end of October in the Ligue 1 leaderboard. They have only lost once in 12 matches to Lille away at the start of this calendar month. And the away victory 1-0 with Marseille (David Costa's goal was the only one that evening) was already the 8th such success. That is, 2/3 of the matches brought victories in this arena - more than a high figure, which makes you think about the chances of finally returning to the Champions League.

Toulouse returned to the top football division in France. In fact, "tefese" over the past decades have shown a variety of results. On the one hand, in 2007 there was the maximum result in the championships, in the form of "bronze" medals. On the other hand, now Philippe Montagnier's wards have the status of a newcomer to Ligue 1 - they managed to return there, having won the last draw of the 2nd division of France. It is clear that after that it was just necessary to catch on at a higher level. This is quite successful, but it should be noted how “harmonious” the statistics are after 12 meetings: 4 wins, draws and losses and an almost equal goal difference, 19 scored and 20 conceded. It is also worth noting that after a good start, with 3 fights without defeat in Ligue 1, Toulouse lost three times in a row. But they managed to improve by winning all the last 3 home matches and keeping a generally unbeaten streak for the past 4 rounds in the championship.
Toulouse went 6 head-to-heads unbeaten. But both extreme confrontations were won by Lens. But that was a long time ago: the clubs crossed paths within Ligue 1 in the 2014/2015 season, and the "blood gold" took 2 wins, 2-0 and 1-0. Bookmakers believe that visitors have no special chances for final success. Lens this season pleasantly surprises, so we should win against this middle peasant - we bet on the victory of "blood gold".
Prediction for the match: Lens to win.
