Lens vs Istres

Lens returned to their bad habits after the joy for the victory over Le Havre, a few days later, they lost asily with a score of 2-0 away against Troyes. This is a tasteless season for Lens, who suffered from lot of internal problems, but tonight they have a chance to win and secure their division status. They want to do their work tonight in front of their fans, and then rest and put some reserves to the last game of the season. They are determined to win, but of course a little anxious, as it’s not fun to struggle until the end of the season to be saved from relegation.

 

Lens: Michaël Fabre, Hamdi Kasraoui, Zakarya Bergdich, Franck Queudrue, Alaeddine Yahia, Ludovic Baal, Chaouki Ben Saada, Alexandre Coeff, Alexandre Cuvillier, Yohan Démont, Pierre Ducasse, Thorgan Hazard, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Fodé Koïta, David Pollet, Julien Toudic.

 

Istres had a home defeat against Angers with the score of 0-1, but this defeat did not costed them, as they already knew from a week before that the goal of staying in the division was already achieved. They had a very mediocre performance, with too little things offensively. Their coach said that they will not go for tourism there, and although the season is over for them, will try to wake up his players. Anyway, players were congratulated cause ensure a quick stay to the league, and to have them awaken for nothing will be difficult.

 

Lens has a great chance to finish this bad season with a win that will secure their status no matter other results.
