Strasbourg, a team that is currently in 6th place in the Ligue 1 standings with 10 points from 6 matches, will host Lens, a team that is trying to recover from adversity, in the opening match of Week 7 of Ligue 1 2023/24. This is an interesting match between two teams who have a long and memorable meeting history.

Lens, a team that finished runners-up in Ligue 1 last season, has experienced a very bad start to the season. They have gone 5 matches without a win (4 losses, 1 draw) in Ligue 1 2023/24 before drawing 1-1 with Sevilla in the Champions League and winning 2-1 over Toulouse in Week 6 of Ligue 1. However, the victory over Toulouse it was also very difficult to get when they fell behind first and only scored the decisive goal in the 84th minute.

Lens also face big problems up front as they only scored 6 goals/6 games in Ligue 1 this season, only more than the bottom 2 teams (Lyon, Clerment). The back line is also no better when they have conceded 12 goals, the most in the league after 6 matches (along with 2 other teams namely Lorient and Clermont). This is a clear decline compared to last season when they conceded just 29 goals in 38 games.

Lens also don’t have much of an advantage when it comes to visiting Strasbourg, where they haven’t won in their last 6 visits (4 losses, 2 draws). Coach Franck Haise also does not have full strength when several important players such as David Pereira da Costa, Jimmy Cabot, Wuilker Farinez and Massadio Haidara are absent due to injury.

Meanwhile, Strasbourg is in pretty good form under new coach Patrick Vieira. They have achieved 3 wins, drawn 1, lost 2 in the first 6 matches. At home to La Meinau, they also played very impressively with only 1 defeat in the last 11 matches (6 wins, 4 draws). They have also beaten or held strong teams like Lyon, Nice or PSG to a draw here.

Strasbourg also have a historical advantage when they have only lost 1 of 8 times hosting Lens at home. Coach Patrick Vieira also has a fairly stable squad when he only lost two players, namely Ibrahima Sissoko and Karol Fila due to injury. They can hope for Lebo Mothiba, Lucas Perrin to pick up points in front of Lens this time.

For the reasons above, Strasbourg has a greater chance of winning than Lens in the opening match of week 7 of the French Premier League 2023/24 season.
