Strasbourg play host to Lens in a Ligue 1 game at the Stade de la Meinau this Sunday. Both of these teams sit in the top half of the table right now, with Strasbourg in eighth and Lens two spots above them in sixth.

So with both teams avoiding any defeats in September, will one of them suffer a loss this weekend?


Strasbourg vs Lens Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

  • In recent games between these two sides, Lens have tended to come out on top. They have defeated Strasbourg in their last three meetings, scoring six goals whilst only conceding two in return.
  • Last weekend saw Strasbourg produce one of the shock results of the season thus far. They snapped a three-match winless streak by defeating high-flying Marseille 1-0. It was Marseille's first defeat of the campaign.
  • Despite only sitting in 6th place, Lens are one of just three teams yet to suffer a defeat in Ligue 1 this season. However, they haven't won a game since August 25, having drawn their last four matches in a row.
  • Lens have conceded fewer goals than any other Ligue 1 side thus far, having only let two goals in. Goalkeeper Brice Samba has managed four clean sheets, more than any other keeper.
  • Lens' weak point may be their discipline; thus far they are one of only three Ligue 1 sides to have had two players sent off, with Deiver Machado and Anass Zaroury having seen red.

Strasbourg vs Lens Prediction

Strasbourg will come into this game full of confidence following their shock 1-0 win over Marseille, and with home advantage, will be hopeful of securing another victory.

However, they may find things hard going against Lens. Will Still's side haven't been the most thrilling to watch thus far, but their record shows they are remarkably hard to beat and hard to score against, too.

Given that both sides are evenly matched, it's hard to pick a winner here, especially as Lens haven't won since August. Therefore, a draw is the prediction.

Prediction: Strasbourg 1-1 Lens
