The RC Lens team will challenge the FC Metz team in a Matchday 5 French Ligue 1 in Stade Bollaert-Delelis Stadium, Lens on Saturday, September 16, 2023. For streaming coverage of Lens vs FC Metz, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Lens, the team who is ranked second from bottom in Ligue 1 this season, will try to improve their position when they host promoted team Metz at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Saturday (16/9). However, this is not an easy match for the home team as Metz have shown their toughness and resilience in the last three matches.
RC Lens experienced a successful season when they finished runners-up in Ligue 1 last season, only losing to PSG. They also got tickets to the Europa League for the first time in history. However, this season’s campaign has not gone smoothly for coach Franck Haise’s men.
Lens have lost three times in a row when they visited Brest, PSG and Monaco. A 1-1 draw against Rennes at home is the only point they have got after four games.
Metz, on the other hand, have had a better start after promotion. They have drawn with Marseille and Reims, while beating Clermont Foot in the last three games. What’s interesting is that Metz has always been the underdog in these three matches.
Apart from that, Metz is also not an easy opponent for Lens because in their last meeting at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, October 2021, Lens only won with a score of 4-1.
Lens vs Metz is an interesting duel and can produce lots of goals. In Lens’ last 22 official matches, there has always been at least one goal in the first half, with half having at least two goals. The last two times Lens and Metz met at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis were also the same.
Lens has home advantage and superior strength to Metz. They also want to get three points to get out of bottom of the standings. However, Metz is not a team that can be underestimated. They have proven their toughness and resilience in the last three matches. Therefore, it is difficult for Lens to achieve a landslide victory.
