Unbeaten in August and September, Racing Club de Lens has just lost twice in October, in Montpellier, then in Lyon last Saturday. In front of its public this evening (9:00 p.m.), in Bollaert, Franck Haise’s team will want to resume its forward march by winning against ESTAC.
In case of victory in this opening match of the 13th day of Ligue 1, the Sang-et-Or would put pressure on Nice and Marseille by taking back 2nd place in the championship. In the event of a poor performance, the Lensois could be caught up by Rennes and Lyon.
