Second hosts third in the 2020-21 Ligue 1 campaign as Lille take on Lens on Sunday in the Derby du Nord of France. Teams will meet at their Stade Pierre-Mauroy stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter.
Les Dogues aim to build on back-to-back wins over Nantes and Strasbourg and they will surely go all guns blazing at the newcomers. Summer signing Burak Yilmaz, who has opened his goalscoring account of late, is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. Adama Soumaoro returns to contention after recovering from coronavirus. It would be fair to say Lille have had a better time of things in recent years than their rivals, winning Ligue 1 for the first time in over half a century in the 2010-11 campaign, and finishing as runners-up in 2018-19.
Fourth place prior to the curtailment of last season due to the coronavirus crisis was no mean feat either, ensuring another campaign of European football for Les Dogues' fans. After selling Victor Osimhen and Gabriel Magalhaes for big money to Napoli and Arsenal respectively in the summer, there would have been understandable fears of regression in results and performances. However, at present Christophe Galtier's side look set to compete at the top end of the table once more, winning four and drawing two of their opening six games.
Lens, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Saint Etienne. The Blood and Gold have been performing above expectations on their return to the French top flight, but matching Lille on the road is easier said than done. Even though talented defender Facundo Medina returns from suspension, we are tempted to put our money on the title-chasing hosts. In their last encounter at Stade Pierre-Mauroy Lille recorded a 3-1 win over Lens. Former Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta and Cameroon striker Ignatius Ganago arrived in the summer, with both making an instant impact at the newly-promoted side. Only Metz's Ibrahima Niane has scored more goals than the dynamic duo's tally of four apiece so far in this season's Ligue 1.

The two fierce Northern rivals have not met since Lille defeated Lens 3-1 in May 2015, by which time Sang et Or had already been condemned to relegation into the second-tier, where they had remained until gaining promotion last season. Lille do have home advantage and more quality throughout their side, though, so while the absence of Fonte in defense is a concern given the form of Kakuta and Ganago, we think they may just about get the job done.
So our Lille vs Lens Prediction is Lille to win.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
