Dogues and Sang et Or find themselves in a derby that smells of powder

At the time of this new episode of the North derby, Saturday April 16, a point separates the two neighbors who are eyeing a European place at the end of the season. Very solid if not brilliant, Lille are playing big at home while they remain on two draws against Bordeaux (0-0) and Angers (1-1) in Ligue 1.

After a big slump in early January, Lens for its part put the march forward and is in 8th place just behind its rival before the start of the 32nd day. On the strength of a great success against Nice (3-0), the Lensois however no longer really have the right to make mistakes in this final sprint. Following the incidents of the first leg at Bollaert, which had tarnished the Sang et Or 1-0 victory, and a few banners released during the season, the meeting is already looking hot.
