We said: Saint-Etienne 0-1 Lens

Dall'Oglio was reportedly on the brink before St Etienne's win over Auxerre, but after saving his job with that victory, this will be a much tougher assignment. Lens may have drawn their last five games in the league, but they certainly have the quality here to claim a first win since gameweek two against one of the favourites for relegation. Read more.
