Goal Statistics

Lens's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday night, not least because Lille have conceded in each of their last 8 Ligue 1 outings. A PG of 1.5 for P. Sage's side suggests that run should continue.

Lens's defensive record is to be admired, P. Sage's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Ligue 1 matches. An average PG rating of 1.3 for Lille makes sense in this context.
