Lorient
Lorient isn't exactly Peter Pan, yet they've managed to hold onto their youthful spirit. They've got some kick-ass skills in free kicks, counterattacks, and ball interception, but their defensive weaknesses can be exploited, especially against set pieces and during aerial combat. They've had a few fumbles recently, tying 1:1 with Montpellier, but they've still got a good shot at securing a mid-table position in the league. As for their stats, Lorient's sitting pretty with 52 points and a goal difference of 49:47.
Lens
Lens? More like Lens-spectacular! They're on a four-match winning streak and showing no signs of slowing down. Their ability to create chances through individual skill and their rock-solid defense against set pieces are their bread and butter. They seem to be invincible right now, with no obvious weaknesses to speak of. Lens is currently in 2nd place with 75 points and a goal difference of 59:27.
