Le Mans will be hoping their encouraging 1-1 draw with Nice can provide the platform for a first victory of the season. The newcomers have been difficult to beat lately, losing just once in their last seven matches, while their home record shows two wins from four. They have also scored in all four home games during that run. Defender Djibril Sidibe returns from suspension, providing a boost to the backline.
Lens, meanwhile, aim to put an end to their poor form after consecutive defeats to Strasbourg and Lorient. Despite those setbacks, the visitors boast a strong 60% win rate across their last 10 matches and have averaged 2.00 goals per away game. Souleymane Sagnan is suspended, while Udol and Titraoui are doubtful. Summer arrival Thorgan Hazard is expected to retain his place in the starting XI. With all five previous H2Hs producing at least three goals, another entertaining encounter could be on the cards.
Given Lens' superior attacking numbers and experience in top flight, Away Win should be considered, alongside Lens Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (every previous H2H produced at least three goals).
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Sunday 13 September 2026 at 16:15.
