Lens delivers a tricky match this evening at Auxerre (at 7 p.m.), with a starting lineup that reflects both prudence and ambition. Deprived of a few strategic options, Will Still opted for a composition that seeks to impose the pace while remaining solid against a local team that is still tough on home soil. PSG will also be able to testify to this.
The Lensois eleven is marked by continuity in broad terms, but a few tactical adjustments attract attention. Adrien Thomasson, in good shape, will be one of the keys to the midfield, while Przemysław Frankowski, faithful to his right lane, will have to provide offensive solutions. Up front, Angelo Fulgini and Bilal Zaroury will be responsible for energizing the game, supporting Nzola positioned up front.
The Lens eleven: between solidity and creativity
For this duel against Auxerre, the Lensois eleven will be as follows: Samba in the cages; a defense composed of Przemysław Frankowski, Khusanov, Kevin Danso and Machado (or Medina, in case of last minute choice). In the middle, Nampalys Mendy and Adrien Thomasson will form the basis of the game, supported by Fulgini, Zaroury and Labeau Lascary in offensive roles. Finally, Nzola will be aligned as a center forward.
The Sang et Or count on their strong men
This meeting against Auxerre is not just a simple step in Ligue 1. Faced with a team that is still formidable at home, Lens will have to play to its strengths, starting with an offensive dynamic based on its players in form. Przemysław Frankowski and Adrien Thomasson will notably have a central role to play.
Auxerre, with a well-organized defense and an inspired Donovan Léon in goal, promises to make things difficult for the visitors. Will Still hopes that the technical quality of his squad will be enough to overcome this obstacle and keep Lens at the top of the ranking.
The Lens eleven:
Samba – Frankowski, Khusanov, Danso, Machado – Diouf, Thomasson – Labeau Lascary, Fulgini, Zaroury – Nzola.
