Strasbourg and Lens difficult to separate
Strasbourg vs RC Lens - 03/04/2022
2231
On Sunday afternoon, Strasbourg and Lens go head-to-head at the Stade de la Meinau, in a Ligue One game that could be key in the fight for European qualification in the French top flight.
Strasbourg are currently in fifth place in the French top-flight table after a strong campaign, occupying the last European spot in Ligue One.
However, they are just two points clear of sixth place Lille and four points ahead of Sunday’s opponents in the standings. A defeat could prove costly to their chances of playing European football next season.
Strasbourg have been difficult to beat of late in Ligue One, though, as they have suffered just one defeat in their last 11 outings in the French top-flight.
However, they have had a habit of drawing games of late in the league, as they have drawn four of their last five league matches.
Julien Stephan’s team is unbeaten in four home games in Ligue One, having recorded three wins in the process. They have also kept clean sheets in their last three league matches on home soil.
A victory for Lens could put them right in the thick of the battle for a European place for next season. The visitor’s form has been inconsistent of late in Ligue One. They have won three of their last six league matches, though.
Last time out in Ligue One, Franck Haise’s team recorded a 3-1 home win over Clermont.
Lens have a mixed recent away record in the French top-flight. However, a record of just two away wins in their last ten league matches on their travels is not a great one.
Their recent away matches in Ligue One have been high-scoring, with seven of their last nine games producing over 2.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that this game will finish in a low-scoring draw, which could hinder both teams’ chances of landing a European spot this season.
