Lens will seek this Sunday at 3 p.m. in Angers to sign the pass of 3, namely to chain a third meeting without defeat after the success acquired in pain against Bordeaux 3 goals to 2 and a reassuring draw in the state of mind conquered on Bollaert’s lawn against Lyon (1-1). For this Franck Haise may be able to rely on one of his senior players returning from a calf injury, Jonathan Gradit.
The statement: “I have a lot of expectations”
Franck Haise appreciated the last collective performance of his players but the Lensois coach knows that his players will have to reproduce the same efforts in Anjou so as not to have to settle for a place in the soft underbelly of the L1 at the end of the season. : “To continue to have ambitions, we are obliged to have this intensity and this quality. The objective for the last 13 matches of the season is to have this team solid, intense and capable of causing problems for the opponent. I don’t know what the match will look like in Angers but I have a lot of expectations.”
The player: Medina finally regular?
The Argentinian will want to confirm the good impression left over the past 2 weeks. Regularly subject to concentration swings and technical and tactical absences, the Argentinian international was, in the absence of Jonathan Gradit, injured in the calf, the best Lensois defender of the last 2 games. Finally becoming regular will be the key for him in the coming weeks in order to allow Racing to secure European qualification at the end of the season.
The stat: Angers in great difficulty
Lens will face a team in great difficulty. Angers have just lost in their last 4 L1 games: in Nice (1-0) and Marseille (5-2) but also at home to Strasbourg (1-0) and Saint-Etienne (1-0) . Released in the Coupe de France by fans of LInas-Montlhéry in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, the Angevins have won only one of their last 9 matches.
The composition France Bleu Nord: Return of Gradit in the 11?
