In their domestic league matches the most frequent marker in the break was 0-0 (5 out of 10 matches). The team conceded goals to their opponents in 7 of their last 10 games in this competition, so they have not been very strong defensively. In 19 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 11 times and never managed to turn the score.
After four unbeaten matches, the team has managed to get out of the competition’s lantern and hopefully have a second round of recovery and less suffering for the team that lost nine of nineteen matches in the current Ligue 2.
The team has a reasonable performance attack and a defense that suffered no fewer than thirty goals in nineteen matches, which has definitely put her as a serious candidate to be downgraded by the problems presented on the field. In his last five matches he had two victories and two draws, showing an evolution.
The team definitely does not make a good home-scoring campaign, where they have only two wins and three draws in ten matches, which puts the team as likely to lose even playing at home.

In the last match, they beat Gazélec Ajaccio at home (2-1), after losing in the previous match in a game against Strasbourg, (3-1).

In his league appearances as a visitor the most frequent result in the break was 0-1 (4 out of 10 matches).

In 19 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 5 times and only got 1 turn on the scoreboard.
The Lens gradually improved on the pitch and came close to consolidating in the first places, being currently in third place and with only two points difference for the leader Brest, being among the leaders the team that suffered least losses, with only three .
In the last five matches he has won three, one defeat and one draw. His defense and attack have well-balanced performance, with this good performance on the field with regularity the factor responsible for the rise of the team in the table and the threat to the other teams.
The team makes a great campaign away from home with four wins and four draws in ten matches, a team retrospective that aims for great results in leagues. Despite having a close average between goals scored and suffered away from home, the team took points from many people in the current Ligue 2.
