After being frustrated by the referee of Mr. Ben El Hadj during the defeat against Toulouse, RC Lens will find one of the best French referees for the match in Le Havre, Sunday (3 p.m.). A match for which the refereeing body has been appointed.
Designated for the Le Havre – RC Lens meeting, Clement Turpin has already crossed paths with Lensois on 19 occasions for a record of 7 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. This season, the international referee was already on the whistle during the forceps victory against Nantes (3-2). Last season, he had already brought luck with a success with the same score against Lyon (3-2), a match marked by the expulsion of Florian Sotoca. Overall, Lens remains on four victories when Clément Turpin is on the whistle.
On the Le Havre side, the results are less flattering with 2 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. Last season, Clermont Turpin notably refereed the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Strasbourg (3-1), with an expulsion (Kuzyaev) and an elimination as a result.
