The 22nd round of Ligue 2 fixtures in France is poised to shake up the race for promotion to Ligue 1. Among the key matchups, RC Lens appears to have a favorable encounter against FC Laval, currently sitting in 17th place. Lens aims to maintain their momentum and stay in step with Metz or potentially surpass them.
Reflecting on their recent form, RC Lens player Alaeddine Yahia expressed optimism about their upcoming match at Bollaert-Delelis stadium. “Since December, we’ve faced challenges winning at home, but our away victories have been encouraging,” Yahia remarked on the club’s official website. “Now, we have an opportunity to widen our lead and break free from constantly looking behind us. We’ve shown determination, refusing to settle for draws, and it’s essential to continue this mindset.”
In their previous outing, RC Lens handed AJ Auxerre their first home defeat of the season with a confident 2-1 victory, propelling them back into second place with 39 points, just two points behind the league leaders. Under Kombouaré’s guidance, Lens has enjoyed a stellar start to 2014, boasting four wins and a draw.
