Paris (AFP) – Lens, ousted from the Ligue 1 podium, has a golden opportunity on Friday against Troyes (9 p.m.) to re-establish itself in second place behind the leader Paris, who will seek to start again on Saturday in Bordeaux (9 p.m.) after his coup stop in Leipzig (2-2) on Wednesday.
Present on the podium since the 8th day at the end of September, the Lensois fell back to fourth place last weekend after a 2-1 setback suffered in Lyon.
But here comes the reception of the promoted Troyes at the Bollaert-Delelis stadium, which can allow the RCL to regain height – at least temporarily.
This promises a beautiful duel of playing teams between the Lens of Franck Haise and the Troyes of Laurent Batlles (14th), who has just stood up to teams like Nice (1-0) or Rennes (2-2).
Saturday, place for the Lille champion of France: Losc, who remains on a convincing victory Tuesday in Seville in the Champions League (2-1), hopes to confirm his improvement against Angers (5:00 p.m.) just before the international break.
As for Paris SG, still firmly at the top of the L1, but sometimes feverish like their draw in Leipzig on Wednesday (2-2), they went to Bordeaux on Saturday evening (9:00 p.m.). The Girondins of Jimmy Briand remain on a stunning success against Reims (3-2).
In the wake of PSG, Marseille has every interest in pushing Metz (19th) to stay in the upper echelons of the ranking (1:00 p.m.).
