Lille host Lens at Decathlon Arena-Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Villeneuve d'Ascq on Friday, Oct 30 at 9:05 PM in the Ligue 1.

Lille come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Lens travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Lille here — they've won 5 of 10 previous meetings against Lens, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Lille won 3–0.

Verdict: Lille look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Lens will make it uncomfortable. Lille to win.
