Lens host flying Paris FC at Stade Bollaert-Delelis
Lens aim to build on last week's victory against Lyon as they welcome high-flying Paris FC to Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Lens sit 8th on 10 points after seven games, having had a mixed start to the campaign. They bounced back in their previous league outing with a 2-1 home victory over Lyon, following a narrow 2-1 defeat at Monaco and a 2-2 draw at Le Mans. However, their schedule has been demanding, featuring a midweek trip to Club Brugge in the Champions League just days before this fixture.
Paris FC sit 3rd on 14 points after seven games, enjoying a strong start to the season. Their momentum was slightly checked last time out in a 1-0 away loss to Lorient, but they had won three of their preceding four matches, including an impressive 3-2 victory away at Marseille and a 2-1 win over Strasbourg.
