Lille vs Lens Predictions

• Lens have won seven of their last 11 away games.
• Lille have lost five of their last nine at home.

Visitors to triumph in Derby du Nord

Lens will be looking to maintain their Ligue 1 title challenge with a win in the Derby du Nord, and they may be able to get the better of Lille away from home for the first time since 2022.

Les Sang et Or enter gameweek 28 just a point adrift of league leaders PSG and make the short trip to Lille having won seven of their last 11 away games.

They beat Lille 3-0 in the reverse fixture and Friday’s hosts have lost five of their last nine competitive home games.

The most recent two of these home defeats have been 1-0 affairs and, with Lens knowing they need to keep things tight and possessing the second-best defensive record in the division, an away win and another 1-0 scoreline appeals.
