📏 Form Guide
RC Lens
WWLLDL
RC Lens will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-1 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against FC Metz.
In that match, RC Lens had 70% possession and 17 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for RC Lens was Florian Sotoca (13'). For their opponents, Metz had 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Georges Mikautadze (34', 45') scored for FC Metz.
RC Lens haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, hitting the target in each and every one of their last 6 matches.
They’ve claimed a sum of 8 during that time while also conceding a total of 8. However, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend might persist in this next match.
Looking at their past form shows that RC Lens:
- haven't lost in the league to Clermont Foot in their previous 9 matches. A decent run, indeed.
- are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.
Clermont Foot
LLWLDD
In their previous fixture, Clermont Foot drew 1-1 in the Ligue 1 tie with Montpellier.
In that match, Clermont Foot had 51% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Clermont Foot was Muhammed Cham (45'). On the other side, Montpellier had 14 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Tanguy Coulibaly (56') was the scorer for Montpellier.
The numbers tell their own story, and Clermont Foot have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 12 goals in all. In defence, Clermont Foot have some weaknesses to address.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Clermont Foot:
- haven't beaten RC Lens in away games against them for the last 4 league games. Not good at all.
- have not won away from home in their last 5 league matches.
↔️ Head to head
An examination of their past head to head results going back to 25/01/2020 tells us that these encounters have been miserable for Clermont Foot. They have not been able to register any victories at all whereas RC Lens have simply been better than them, beating them in 67 per cent of those matches.
A combined total of 20 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 15 of them for Les Artésiens and 5 being from Clermont. The average goals per game has been 3.33.
The previous league contest between the two was Ligue 1 match day 13 on 25/11/2023 when it finished Clermont Foot 0-3 RC Lens.
On that day, Clermont Foot had 48% possession and 13 shots on goal with 4 of them on target.
RC Lens had 16 shots on goal with 10 on target. Elye Wahi (11'), Adrien Thomasson (50') and Wesley Saïd (82') scored.
The referee was Benoît Millot.
🗞️ Team News: RC Lens
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just a single fitness concern for the RC Lens gaffer Franck Haise to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Jimmy Cabot (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out. Ruben Aguilar will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
In all likelihood, Les Artésiens will probably use a 3-4-2-1 formation in the match and select Brice Samba, Deiver Machado, Kevin Danso, Jonathan Gradit, Nampalys Mendy, Neil El Aynaoui, P. Frankowski, Facundo Medina, Florian Sotoca, Angelo Fulgini and Elye Wahi.
📋 Team News: Clermont Foot
Thanks to a fully healthy group available to choose from, the Clermont Foot manager Pascal Gastien has zero fitness concerns to report ahead of this match.
We reckon that Clermont Foot could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Mory Diaw, Mehdi Zeffane, Chrislain Matsima, Andy Pelmard, Neto Borges, Habib Keita, Johan Gastien, Bilal Boutobba, M. Saracevic, Elbasan Rashani and Alan Virginius.
🔮 Prediction
We feel that RC Lens should dominate possession and create several successful chances.
In contrast, Clermont Foot could well find it tough to score themselves but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage.
We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 3-1 victory for RC Lens by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
