Attention, Sporting: Lens loses for the second consecutive time

Lens suffered a home defeat against Lorient, losing 2-1 at their own stadium. This was the French team's second consecutive loss, as they go through a negative spell of form. Sporting, who are set to face Lens in the Champions League, could benefit from this poor run of the opponents. Inacio's side chose to rest players in the last Portuguese league match, possibly thinking ahead to this European clash. The match between Sporting and Lens is scheduled for soon, and Lens's current form could be a favorable factor for the Lions.
