Preview
Lens head into this after a 2-1 away loss to Lyon in their previous Ligue 1 clash on Sunday.
Ekambi and Aouar gave the hosts a 2-0 half time lead before Kalimuendo- Muinga pulled one back for Lens in the second half.
The visitors tried but could not get the equalizer as they lost their 2nd in three matches and dropped in intensity slightly.
Lens remain in 4th place with 21 points with the aim of getting back to winning ways.
On the other hand, Troyes were held to a 2-2 home draw against Rennes in their previous clash.
Aguerd broke the deadlock for the visitors before Rami and Dingome’s strikes gave Lens a 2-1 half time lead. But a late goal from Terrier ensured a share of the spoils.
This point leaves Troyes in 14th place with 13 points from 12 matches.
Both sides last met in the Ligue 1 in February 2020 where Lens won 1-0 at home.
