Lyon face Lens in the Ligue 1 of France on May 4. The game starts at 15:15 UTC.
8 months after their last meeting in Ligue 1, a sense of anticipation builds as Lyon and Lens square off once more. In their last encounter, neither side could break the deadlock, ending in a 0-0 draw. Approaching this match, Lyon find themselves on a poor run, having been defeated by Saint-Etienne and Manchester United. Ahead of their clash with Lens, they must first take on Rennes in Ligue 1, a game that could impact their momentum heading into the match against Lens. Tightening up at the back might be their best chance to shift momentum, especially given the fact their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in seven consecutive matches.
After their recent win against Brest, Lens, on the other hand, approach this match with renewed confidence. Before facing Lyon, they will face Auxerre in Ligue 1, which will test their form and squad depth before facing Lyon.
Lyon and Lens meet in Ligue 1 with their goal-scorers and playmakers ready to take on pivotal roles. The attacking efforts of Lyon, carefully orchestrated by Paulo Fonseca, have been driven by Rayan Cherki and Georges Mikautadze, both of whom have delivered in crucial moments. Lacazette leads Lyon’s scoring charts in Ligue 1 this season with twelve goals, as Cherki continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with nine assists. Malick Fofana, Corentin Tolisso and Ernest Nuamah have made their presence felt as well, chipping in with decisive contributions in attack.
Meanwhile, Lens’s attacking options, under Will Still’s management, have been bolstered by M'Bala Nzola, the team’s top scorer, and Przemyslaw Frankowski, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Nzola has emerged as Lens’s leading scorer in Ligue 1 this season, netting six goals, with Thomasson leading their creative tally in the league with four assists. Supporting them are Neil El Aynaoui, Deiver Machado and Wesley Said, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Lens’s attack.
