In this week 13 match on Oct 28th, Lens hosts Toulouse at Stade Bollaert-delelis in a Ligue 1 match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, a perfect day for football. Lens is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Olympique Marseille. Pereira da Costa struck first for Lens in the 78th minute on a feed from Facundo Medina, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Olympique Marseille couldn’t muster any offence and Lens ran away with the shutout win. Lens is on a hot streak lately, with only 1 loss in their last 10 matches, while toulouse sits at 10th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-2 draw against Strasbourg. Anthony Rouault struck first for Toulouse in the 44th minute on a feed from Rasmus Nicolaisen, then Brecht Dejaegere added another in the 55th minute on a feed from Mikkel Desler. Toulouse is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Brecht Dejaegere has been the most prolific scorer on Toulouse in the last 5 matches with 3 goals. Florian Sotoca and Wesley Saïd are the top scorers for Lens in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Franck Haise’s Lens squad will be without Gradit and Wuilker Faríñez, while Toulouse will be without Rhys Healey.
