The jam-packed action continued in round 11 of the French Ligue 1 with Lens and Nantes going head-to-head on Saturday. Antoine Kombouare’s team has failed to bring their trophy from the last five visits to Stade Bollaret-Delelis and will soon enter the weekend with this poor run.

Will Still witnessed the Lens losing back to back while the former boss Kombouare seems to be in similar danger as every manager would in the top flight of losing his position at present.
Still is in shock after he burst into the scene at Reims but lately, things have started to unravel with many misfortunes contributing to many defeats consecutively during the last two weeks. Lille came to the Bollaert-Delelis after the dubious late retribution, taking all 3 points before Lens moved to the capital, and losing 1-0 last week to Paris Saint-Germain.

Previous Match Results and Team Form
The red card on Andukodir Khusanov put the match beyond them, leaving Lens on the verge of making unwanted history since they never lost three consecutive Ligue 1 matches after returning to the 2020 top flight. The club also fell down four points from the top four into the seventh, yet another disappointing outcome that could be more costly.
The pragmatic approach which Will employed, worked to a certain extent, now having five clean sheets in the 7 home games.
However, Lens could still not score a goal at home and continues to remain the only team in double figures for goals conceded and scored.
Przemyslaw Frankowski, the wing-back remains the top scorer with only two goals, coming back with full force at the vital points of the games, which was previously lacking since Lens had not scored a goal in the second half so far the entire season.
Given the RC Lens vs FC Nantes stats, one positive development for the Home team to cling on to is that Nantes has proven favorable opponents in recent times, and has won three games consecutively in Ligue 1 with a success of 4-0 at the venue last season.
