Previous Rivalry:
The R.C. Lens, despite a 1-1 draw against Rennes, has shown promising strengths. They have eight shots and four shots on target, or 42% possession of the three yellow cards gotten. Creating long-shot opportunities is very strong, and creating chances using through balls is powerful. They have scoring chances that are also tough, and aerial duels and defending set pieces are stiff. Lens is attacking down the right and controlling the game in the opposition’s half. The top scorers of Lens are S. Wahi and F. Sotoca, for their finest performances on this team.
Meanwhile, Montpellier, on the other hand, suffered a very disappointing 0-2 loss against Monaco, where Kassoum Ouattara and Youssouf Fofana netted their goals. There had been 14 shots and three shots on target. The top scorer is T. Savanier, and A. Adams is an excellent player on this team. Montpellier side counterattacks are very powerful, and creating scoring chances is also very strong. This team’s attacking style is vigorous. Montpellier’s keeping possession of the ball is faint, and defending against attacks down the wings is fragile. Avoiding fouling in dangerous areas is complex, and defending set pieces could be better. Their team’s defense against long shots could be more robust. As a result, the R.C. Lens has a better chance of winning their upcoming matches.

Staying true to their philosophy, young players like midfielder Nathan and winger Janis Antiste have had impressive performances. Ngoumou’s dribbling and creativity are constantly threatened, while Antise’s pace and finishing show promise. While defensively sound, Toulouse’s attack needs to be more consistent.
