Lens Team News

Lens had an incredible success last season. They finished second in the championship table, above Marseille and Monaco, securing direct qualification to the Champions League. Their group opponents are Arsenal, PSV, and Sevilla, and there is no doubt that the French team will have a challenging task to reach one of the top three spots on the table, guaranteeing a spot in the spring of Europe. In the first match, to the surprise of many, Lens managed to secure a draw in Spain against Sevilla. They were evenly matched throughout the game, and in the second half, they missed a great opportunity that could have earned them all three points.

In contrast to the Champions League, where Lens started the competition in good form, the situation in the national championship could be better. They began the season with five winless matches, including one draw and four losses. However, with two consecutive victories in the last two rounds, they have shown signs of returning to a winning rhythm and are slowly resembling the team from last season that came close to winning the title.

Arsenal Team News

Like Lens, Arsenal had a very successful previous season, coming close to a major surprise by winning the championship title. However, due to their slip-ups towards the end of the season, they ultimately relinquished the trophy to Manchester City.

The “Gunners” have bigger ambitions this year, as evidenced by their summer transfer window signings. The team from London aims to bring the Premier League trophy back to their trophy cabinet, and based on their performances at the start of the season, they have a great chance to do so. After seven rounds of play, they currently stand in third place in the table, with just one point less than the leaders, Manchester City. Also, alongside Tottenham, they are the only undefeated team in the championship so far. They have secured five victories and two draws against Fulham and Tottenham.

Furthermore, Arsenal has made a triumphant start in the Champions League group stage. In their first home match against PSV, they showed they are one of the main favorites to progress to the next stage. They won convincingly 4:0, and it was clear even at halftime that the team from the Netherlands would return home without any points.

Four goals. Four goalscorers. 👊
