Lens proved that they are still the same as before and in their last 3 matches they have recorded 2 wins and 1 draw. I think a draw against Monaco is normal, especially since both teams are at almost the same level. Furthermore, Lens must continue this positive trend and their next opponent will be Lyon.
We know that Lyon is still implementing the same concept as last season, but they have only recently won their first match after losing the previous two matches. This will be a challenge for Lyon whether they can maintain this victory or lose again to the host Lens. I think if we refer to H2H, it is clear that Lens will win, but even that will not guarantee comfort considering Lyon is a little motivated. This week we will see many teams shifting each other considering the very small points difference.
Last season Lens finished in Ligue 1 in 7th place and only 2 points behind Lyon who were in 6th place and had the opportunity to participate in the Europa League, for this season maybe Lens will try to do better and they can be part of one of the European competitions.
At the beginning of the season Lens managed to get two wins and one draw, clearly this is still much better than Lyon who only managed to get one win and two losses, in the next meeting I sure Lens will be able to get good results by beating Lyon.
Lyon game will only be able to show good quality when they play against much weaker team or play at home with an opponent who is not so strong, in the next match Lyon will play away and I doubt they can create competitive game.
For H2H actually this will never refer to being able to predict the results, but we can see the quality of both team which still shows that Lens is much more consistent so there will be pressure that makes it difficult for Lyon to be able to play like before when they got their first win.
