The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Saturday's Ligue 1 clash between Lens and Lyon, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Lens 0-1 Lyon

Lyon are coming off perhaps their best collective effort of the campaign and have been a thorn in the side of Lens in the top flight, beating them 41 times, with only Monaco (45) handing them more defeats in Ligue 1. While Les Sang et Or have a dynamic side with their share of scoring threats, they are not as well-structured and sharp both on and off the ball as L'OL, and we expect Lyon to find a way to destabilize and frustrate them on Saturday.
