Friday, January 13th, at the “Stade de la Vallee du Cher” is playing match between Tours and Lens, a duel of round number 20, first returning to the French second league.
Tours makes a season below expectations, but looks like the last stages rebounded and managed to climb to 17th place with 18 points, with eight goals in a shortage of the right goal difference. In the last round, Tours has managed to tick off an important victory, 2-0 Le Havre, the match was played away. Moreover, that result made the team to reach four consecutive matches without failure in the championship, during which time he managed to collect two wins and as many draws.
Lens submitted its first serious candidate to return to French football scene and currently is in goal, coming in at 3rd place with 32 points three fewer than the Brest team on the first step. In the previous stage, it hardly managed to win in front of the GFC Ajaccio in a match at home, 2-1. Moreover, it debuted in 2017 with a cup match, when he went 2-0 with Metz, the team’s first league, but that game was played and at home. Now to be visitors, a situation that could effectively manage disputes like at home, racking up 16 points, contrary to the fact that scored only 11 goals.
Direct matches between Tours and Lens were always attractive in that it brought goals. As proof, in four of the last five clashes marked both teams, and the tour was 2-2. Altogether, I think the chances are of us witnessing the goals, because victory is an essential thing for both teams, and draw not help them at all in meeting the objective.
