Lens are one of the only three teams in the whole competition to have remained unbeaten in the past five match-days, and they are going after a podium finish at worst.
But Rennes will have something to say about that, considering they are paced fifth and need a surplus of just four points to break into the top-four of the table.
The latest encounter ended in a 2-1 win for Lens. They also won the clash before that with a 1-0 scorecard, and are unbeaten in such meetings in the past eight years.
Lens have a terrific h2h record against this rival, and are also one of the three teams to have remained unbeaten in the past five game weeks in the league.
Meanwhile, Rennes might be placed fifth in the table at the moment, but note that they were able to deliver just four wins from their past 13 games. Moreover, they have failed to win at home in any league fixture since mid-February.
