Les Bleu et Blanc won their two games before the international break. Strasbourg overcame Hacken in the UEFA Conference League and continued that form with a 2-0 home triumph over Lille in Ligue 1. Emanuel Emegha bagged a brace in the win over Lille.

Lens vs Strasbourg Prediction
Les Sang et Or have won their last two games, scoring seven goals while conceding just once, and will look to build on that form. They have lost just one of their last six games in this fixture, though that defeat was registered at home last season.
Mamadou Sangaré, Deiver Machado, and Robin Risser are major doubts for the hosts, while Jonathan Gradit will serve a suspension here.
Les Bleu et Blanc have been in good touch recently, winning three of their last four games in all competitions while keeping two clean sheets. Interestingly, three of their four defeats in Ligue 1 this season have been registered on their travels.
Ismaël Doukouré is a key absentee for the visitors due to suspension. Karl-Johan Johnsson, Maximilian Oyedele, and Saidou Sow will sit this one out, while Diego Moreira faces a late fitness test.
Les Sang et Or are on a five-game winning streak at home, scoring 13 goals. With that in mind, and considering their better defensive record than the visitors, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
