Lens come into this in red hot form, having scored 13 goals in their last five matches. The league leaders have won seven out of their eight home league matches, scoring 16 goals and conceding only four in these matches. They will be mindful that the visitors ran out deserving winners the last time the two sides met here.
The visitors have won just one of their last 12 matches in the division, getting the better of league stragglers Metz on home soil. They are yet to register an away win in this campaign, suffering defeat in six of eight matches. They have been in strong scoring form as of late, registering eight goals in their last five matches across all competitions.
As previously mentioned, the visitors picked up an impressive victory here last time out. That aside, it has been a pretty favoursome fixture for the hosts.

Odsonne Edouard (Lens) A fair few to choose from but we are highlighting the former Crystal Palace striker for this fixture. Edouard has put previous struggles aside and registered seven goals in 14 Ligue 1 appearances in his debut season for Lens. He scored the opening goal in the reverse fixture as his side would go on to claim the three points.
Kevin Danois (Auxerre) There is not as much to shout about for the away support. 21 year-old midfielder Danois has shown his ability in this division and has featured regularly for Auxerre in this campaign.
