Lensois coach Franck Haise has the figures for his team’s last matches in mind: Lens has won only one of his last 5 L1 matches, it was in Dijon on Sunday 22 November. Since then, Racing has conceded a draw against Nantes and a defeat in front of Angers. Before the international break, the Artesian club had been corrected in the derby against LOSC 4 0 before conceding a spectacular draw in Bollaert against Stade de Reims.
A defensive puzzle to solve.
- 12 goals conceded in the last 5 matches
- Lens conceded 2 times 4 goals in 90 minutes, in Lille in the derby and in front of Reims
- 3 goals scored on average in Racing matches: 35 in 11 games.
- Only 3 matches without a goal conceded this season.
Just a little warning sign
The right-back defender, Jonathan Clauss, does not especially want to panic when reading these statistics: “We prepared to live these kinds of moments, I remind you that we are promoted. We have accustomed a lot of people to produce beautiful things on the ground, but this less good move is just normal. There is no need to worry. These are just little red flags and we will redouble our vigilance and return to certain fundamentals“
