After the match

Lens secured a crucial home win against Lyon despite trailing at the break. The turnaround demonstrates competitive form and strengthens their standing, while Lyon's second-half collapse raises concerns.

RC Lens sit 15th in Ligue 1 with 4 points, while Olympique Lyon are second with 11 points, and this match sees the home side looking to bounce back after losing their last outing at the Bollaert. Lens have averaged 2.5 goals for and 1.5 against at home across their 2 games, whereas Lyon have been more solid on the road with just 1 goal scored per game but none conceded. The chances suggest this is competitive, with Lyon slight favourites at 35 per cent, the draw at 35 per cent, and Lens at 30 per cent.
