Lens travels to Le Havre to open the 9th day of Ligue 1, this Friday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
After having definitively launched its season at the beginning of autumn, the Racing Club de Lens will try to confirm its state of form on the lawn of the promoted Lens. The Normandy team approaches this meeting in an outsider position, but it will have assets to put forward as it has demonstrated since the start of the season.
For Franck Haise, there is no question of taking this match over the head. “ It’s a team that has worked well with its coach, with the staff, with the club since last year. Who was very impressive and very solid throughout her Ligue 2 season. Who got off to a good start, even if she has just had two more difficult matches but also against valuable opponents (Lille and Marseille, editor’s note). Who has had several systems since the start of the season, so everything is possible in that regard. Who caused problems and who managed to equalize in Rennes when there were ten men. Who has resources and capabilities to project themselves. In Ligue 1, all matches are difficult, and especially this one in the context where we play back from the international break on Friday – we play on Tuesday, and we cannot have all the benefits either. It’s a bit unusual on our side in terms of preparing for the match, and I have no doubt that we will have a difficult match in Le Havre. » The message got through.
