Lens predicted XI v Lille: A Derby to keep title dreams alive | OneFootball

Having returned to winning ways just before the international break (5-1 vs. Angers SCO), RC Lens are back in Ligue 1 for one of the most important matches of their season.

Away at rivals Lille OSC, the Sang et Or now have their backs against the wall and must win to keep their title hopes alive. It is far from an easy task for Pierre Sage’s men, who will once again have to cope with the absence of several key defenders.

Ruben Aguilar, Samson Baidoo, Jonathan Gradit and Kyllian Antonio, who have all been out for several weeks, are therefore once again ruled out for this northern clash. The same goes for Arthur Masuaku, who is attending a presidential reception following the Democratic Republic of Congo’s qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
