Lille vs Lens Prediction
Lille surprised the football world when she won Ligue 1 last season, but is 7th in the table this season. They have exciting young talents like Jonathan David, Renato Sanches and Sven Botman on their roster, and it looks like Lille could be in for a major roster upheaval this summer.
David, Botman and Sanches are three of Lille’s better performers this season. Veteran stars like Burak Yilmaz and Jose Fonte have also joined, but Lille could face some big problems next season.
On the other hand, Lens is ranked 8th on the chart, 1 point behind Lille. Right-back Jonathan Clauss has been in incredible form this season, and deserves his recent France debut. Malian midfielder Cheick Doucoure has been linked with Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, while Ivory Coast international Seko Fofana is one of the best midfielders in Ligue 1.
