We said: Lyon 1-1 Lens

Lyon look as though they are turning a corner with Blanc in charge, but they must claim a first league win at home since October sooner rather than later. Lens have lost all momentum that was carrying them towards a title charge at the start of January and need to ensure they do not allow the sides below them to close the gap even more. Read more.
