Lens – Como

Match analysis

Lens, sitting fourth with four points from one win, one draw and two defeats and a narrow 8‑7 goal difference, will host second‑placed Como, who sit on ten points after three victories and a draw and boast a comfortable 9‑4 margin. The clash pits a struggling home side eager to close the gap on a Como outfit that has yet to taste defeat this season. Both teams have exchanged points in their limited head‑to‑head history, but Como’s superior record and unbeaten run give them the edge. Lens will need to tighten up defensively and convert the few chances they create if they hope to upset the table leaders. A win for the visitors would extend their lead at the top, while a draw would keep the race tight and give Lens a chance to climb back into the hunt.
