Lens have been formidable at home in the current Ligue 1 season, securing 12 victories out of 14 home games.

Hosts Lead H2H
Lens hold a 23-18 advantage against Toulouse with 14 draws in 55 matches. They also have better goal difference 66-50.
Lens Strong at Home
Lens are the most pleasant surprise package in Ligue 1 this season, currently sitting in 2nd place with a four-point deficit from the leaders PSG, but their title hopes have gone down due to a couple of recent defeats.
After suffering a 2-1 road defeat to mid-table Lorient in mid-March, the Blood and Gold returned to winning ways instantly at home, crushing Angers 5-1 where Odsonne Edouard starred with a brace.
Pierre Sage’s side underperformed in their most recent contest at Decathlon Arena, losing convincingly to Lille 3-0, ending the match with 0.58-3.68 expected goals and 5-13 shots.
Toulouse Have Little Left to Play For
Toulouse have already met their season goal when it comes to Ligue 1, staying far away from the relegation battle, currently occupying 10th place with very little room to make progress.
Their results in April have been poor, starting the month with a 3-1 defeat to PSG in the capital, Rasmus Nicolaisen scoring a consolation from their only shot on target.
Last weekend, the Violets were crushed by Lille 4-0 in front of the home crowd, firing just one shot on target while allowing eight.
