I think the players of the Lens team are very hardworking. Because in the match against PSG, I saw Lens players trying hard to at least draw the match. But they failed against the PSG attack. But the Lens team is a promising team, expect to perform well with the other teams.
Lens lost 3 - 1 to PSG but Lens is currently in 3rd place in the French League standings and is only 1 point different from Marseille which is in 2nd place.
It's true what you said, it looks like Lens will be able to compete with other teams and get more points to shift Marseille to 2nd place.
I believe that Lens can reach 2nd place and succeed to later fight for the title in the French League, even though it is impossible to beat PSG but at least if you can reach the top to fight for the title it will be a matter of pride.
Compared to Lens, the team in Marseille is not weak. The team in Marseille is strong enough. And they are consistently able to perform well in every match. I wouldn't say that the Lens team is weak. I think Marseille and Lens are equally strong. And so it is highly unlikely that the Lens team will regain second place in the table very soon. With Marseille's consistent performance, Lens has no chance of occupying second place in the table unless they drop points. But for the second place in the table at the moment I think the Marseille team is the favorite. I have seen his performance in Marseille in the last few matches. The players are very confident and they are able to play well.
