Lens Aim to Exploit Troyes Defensive Woes

Lens hold a higher league position than Troyes after six matches and carry better recent results. Troyes have managed just one draw and four defeats in their last five outings while leaking 2.7 goals a game at home. Lens have seen three or more goals in five of their six league games and both teams have scored in five of those. Head-to-head records show Lens winning seven of the last ten meetings. Troyes miss four players with knee, leg and hip issues that weaken their back line further. Lens also have four players out but their attacking output of 1.8 goals a game gives them the clearer route forward. The main risk lies in Troyes grinding out a low-scoring home draw through compact defending.
