Predictions
RC Lens vs. FC Lorient
The upcoming match between RC Lens and FC Lorient on matchday 32 of the Ligue 1 is a significant showdown. This crucial matchup is scheduled for May 4, 2024, at 12.30 a.m. at Estadio Bollaert-Delelis, Lens.
Rankings:
- RC Lens is in 6th place with 46 points.
- FC Lorient is in 17th place with 26 points.
Previous Rivalry:
Lens has scored in 12 consecutive matches, and they have scored more than 2.5 goals in six of their last eight games. Even though they have the lowest goal tally in the top five teams, with 50 goals in 30 matches. The defensive side has the best defensive record on the French top list. Lens had been almost unbeatable at home this season. Lens has a tough rivalry with their neighbor Lille, whom they contest in the Derby du Nord. So, the Lens side’s winning formula is to give technical power to a team workout and ensure the training of young players.
On the other hand, Lorient’s recent form has been less than stellar. Currently placed at the bottom with six wins, eight draws, and 17 losses. They have been winless in their last five matchups. Their draw of 2-2 against Monaco, where Wilfried Singo and Tiemoue Bakayoko netted their goals, was a small consolation. However, with Tosin receiving a red card in the 89th minute, it’s clear that Lorient needs to improve both their defensive and offensive sides. As we conclude, with their strong defensive record and recent form, the RC Lens are likely to grab a victory in their upcoming match.

Therefore, LOSC Lille will likely grab a victory in their future matches.
