Average Goals Conceded:1.4 conceded/game
Current Form:LLWWL

Lens head into this midweek European fixture seeking consistency after experiencing a turbulent stretch across all competitions (LLWWL). While impressive victories over Paris Saint-Germain and Auxerre proved their high ceiling, recent league losses to Strasbourg and Lorient highlight defensive frailties, reflected in their 1.4 conceded/game. Balancing an average of 1.4 goals/game scored, the French side must tighten their backline to contain a potent Slavia attack on the road.
