Lens women host Saint‑Malo this Saturday

On March 27 2027 at 20:00, RC Lens women's team takes on FC Saint‑Malo in the 19th round of Division 1 Féminine. The match, streamed live on Foot Mercato, promises a tight battle as both sides aim to climb the table.

What are the stakes for Lens?

For the Lens side, every point matters. While the senior squad sits 14th in Ligue 1 with 0 points, the setback echoes throughout the club. The women's section wants to show the same fighting spirit on the pitch. An early goal could swing the game's momentum.

Who will miss the starting XI?

Central defender Nidal Čelik remains sidelined with injury. His absence leaves a gap in the back line, forcing the coach to adjust the lineup. The planned replacement is young full‑back Laura Dupont, who has already shown solidity in the league.

How is the team preparing?

The players have been working intensively on set‑pieces during Wednesday's training. Coach Marie‑Claire Lefèvre emphasized the need for ball possession against a Saint‑Malo side that likes to press high. Statistics reveal Lens has conceded 0 goals this season but has yet to find the net.

What lies ahead after the match?

Following the Saint‑Malo clash, Lens will face Estac Troyes at home on February 20 2027. That upcoming fixture, against the 18th‑placed side, will be decisive for escaping the relegation zone. A positive result against Saint‑Malo could provide the momentum needed for that challenge.
