Match Preview
Lyon could climb to third in the league with a victory this weekend, as long as Lille fail to win. Lyon have won four of their last five, but they did lose to Toulouse last time out.
Lens have secured a phenomenal second-place finish regardless of what happens this weekend. They've only won two of their previous five, but they have a six-point gap on third-place Lille.
When the two sides met back in March in the Coupe de France, Lens secured a victory on penalties. Lyon secured a win in the last league meeting back in August away from home.
