Two sides languishing in the lower reaches of the Feminine Division 1 collide on Friday evening when Nantes host Lens. Both teams are desperate for points, but it is Lens who arrive in far more dire straits - rooted to the foot of the table with just three points from eight matches and staring down the barrel of relegation.
Nantes sit fifth on nine points, unbeaten in four home league matches this season. They have never failed to score at home, averaging 1.5 goals per game on their own patch. A 1-1 draw with Toulouse last time out halted a two-game winning run, but the hosts will fancy their chances against the division's leakiest defence.
Lens have lost five of their last six league fixtures, shipping a staggering 21 goals in eight games. The 7-1 mauling at the hands of Lyon last Friday laid bare their defensive frailties. They have yet to win a single match this season, and their away record reads zero wins, one draw and two defeats from three trips.
Nantes possess a clear edge in attacking output at home versus Lens's woeful away return of just two goals in three matches. However, Nantes have drawn three of their four home fixtures, suggesting they can struggle to put teams away. If Lens can stay compact early and frustrate the hosts, they could nick something - but the weight of evidence points firmly towards a Nantes-favoured contest.
