RC Lens signed their fourth consecutive victory against Strasbourg (2-1) on Friday evening during the 30th day of Ligue 1. The club is temporarily down to three units from Paris SG, a fragile and threatened leader. With this success, Lens has 63 points against 66 for the Parisian leader, who remains on two consecutive defeats before his trip, this Saturday evening (at 9 p.m.), in Nice.
This success is also an excellent operation in the race for the podium against Marseille (3rd, 60 pts) and Monaco (4th, 57 pts), who travel respectively to Lorient and Nantes on Sunday.
RC Lens – PSG next Sunday
“To have 63 points, one more than last year with 8 rounds remaining… The objective was to do better. From an accounting point of view, the objective has been met. We are happy to have won tonight, in a difficult game. Everyone manages their pressure. We manage ours. For the rest, everyone does what he has to do. We do not forbid ourselves anything. We just know how difficult it is to win a match. I want us to play the last eight games with personality. If we don’t do it, we won’t be rewarded,” reacted Franck Haise after this new victory.
The icing on the cake: on the next day, Lens will move to the Parc des Princes. A match that could smell of sulfur, especially since the Lensois have already found the key against Paris this season, on January 1 in the first leg (3-1 victory).
