Lens looks to regain its stride in a crucial Ligue 1 match against the season's surprise package, Stade Brest.

Following their European exit at the hands of Freiburg, Lens's focus has shifted back to domestic success.

Despite a heart-wrenching last-minute defeat to Monaco and a subsequent turnaround with a resounding 3-0 victory over Lyon, Lens's home performance remains strong with just one loss in their last six matches.

However, facing Brest poses a new challenge as they seek to solidify their position at the top of the French league.

Brest, sitting comfortably in second place, has exceeded expectations this season. Their ambition for a higher finish is within reach, albeit first place, currently held by PSG, seems a lofty goal.

Recent victories over Le Havre, Strasbourg, and Marseille underscore Brest's form, complemented by a stout defense that has conceded the second-fewest goals in Ligue 1.

With only one loss in their last six away games, Brest's resilience on the road will be tested against Lens.

Trends show that Lens has found it challenging to secure a clean sheet against Brest, with goals conceded in their last nine Ligue 1 encounters.

Conversely, Brest has not suffered defeat in their 13 most recent league matches, showcasing their robust form. The head-to-head record favors Brest, with Lens clinching just one win in their last six league meetings.

Injury woes plague both teams; Lens will miss Jhoanner Chávez, Massadio Haïdara, Jimmy Chabot, and the suspended Facundo Medina.

Brest will be without Jordan Amavi, presenting selection dilemmas for Eric Roy.

As the clash looms, predictions lean towards a Brest victory in a match expected to see goals from both sides.

This game is more than a confrontation of form; it's a testament to Brest's remarkable season and Lens's quest to bounce back in the face of adversity.
