2

St Etienne lost in each of its last two home games against Lens in Ligue 1 (2-3 in March 2021 and 1-2 in January 2022) and could suffer a third setback in a row against the Sang et Or at Geoffroy- Guichard for the first time in its history within the elite. St Etienne have won 2 of their last 4 Ligue 1 matches (1 draw, 1 defeat), after not winning any of their previous 9 (2 draws, 7 defeats).

5

Lens have drawn their last 5 Ligue 1 matches, you have to go back to 2013 to see a team have a longer run, then made 6 in a row under the leadership of Hubert Fournier.

3

St Etienne remains on 2 consecutive home victories in Ligue 1 (1-0 v , 3-1 v ), its best series since August-September 2020 (also 2). ASSE has not done better since April 2019 (3).

12

Lens have scored in each of their last 12 away games in Ligue 1 (16 goals) and will equal their best run of this kind in the top flight previously established in 1965, 1973-1974 and 2023 if they score at St Etienne.

114 et 51

Lens (114) is the team which has attempted the most crosses in the game in Ligue 1 this season, St Etienne (51) the 2nd which has attempted the fewest behind (48).

111 et 104

Lens (111) and St Etienne (104) are the only two teams in Ligue 1 2024/25 to have exceeded 100 fouls committed.

16

Abdulkodir Khusanov (Lens) has made 16 interceptions in Ligue 1 this season, more than any other player. Dylan Batubinsika (St Etienne) displays the 2nd total in this area (15 – like Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg).
