Lens analysis

After round number 3 in Ligue 1, Lens has 4 goals scored and 1 conceded.

Lens, with a ball possession of 49.67% per game on average, is not the team that imposes its game, and rather prefers a tactic devoted to waiting and counterattacks. However, in the match against Olympique Lyonnais of 2024/2025 they will have to do something more, try to maintain possession of the ball and attack the opponent's goal with more continuity.

The adaptation of Jhoanner Chávez with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in Lens last game of the season, against Monaco. In the clash, the midfielder failed to be effective and did little for the team. Despite the good expectations for the player, his performance is starting to worry.
