Lens, France – Diaris, e don finally reach that time wey everybody dey wait for. As dem dey warm up for the new season, dem go gather for Stade Bollaert-Delelis on August 16, 2025, to see who fit start the Ligue 1 campaign better – na Lens wey dey host or Lyon wey wan show dem pepper!
This match not just about the three points oh, but e sabi dey hot because dem two teams get history wey sweet for dem mouth. Lens don do beta work in preseason, winning four out of seven matches, but Lyon sef no dey do am bad – dem lose just one match against Bayern Munich. Na lively show we expect! (E be like say dem dey train dem players like say dem go compete for Olympic Games.)
Lens dey enter this match with some new faces for their squad. Coach Pierre Sage go dey on the touchline for im first match with dem, as e take over from the last coach wey don waka go Southampton. Dem don buy Florian Thauvin back, and dat one fit turn the game upside down for Lyon. But my guy, dem dey miss some players wey be like pillar for di defense, like Kevin Danso and Przemyslaw Frankowski.
Meanwhile Lyon, dem dey come with some yawa as coach Paulo Fonseca no fit sidon for di touchline due to suspension. E no go fit shout “ole” anytime dem score; dem go just dey see am dey watch how e go unfold. The team dem appeal finish to avoid relegation after dem get wahala with money and financial issues. E be like say dem no wan enter serious wahala again.
Both teams don dey first start di season strong, but Lyon don dey struggle whenever dem carry their legs go wey Lens dey, lose two and draw three of their last five visits to di Bollaert-Delelis. Dem go need proper plan if dem wan break dat jinx. (Gossip go say dem fit just try dey play Boy Scout – make dem fit survive.)
Lens possible lineup go be: Risser; Baidoo, Sarr, Udol; Aguilar, Diouf, Thomasson, Machado; Guilavogui, Said, Thauvin. Dem dey hope sey e go fit work well. For Lyon, demese lineup fit be: Descamps; Kumbedi, Mata, Niakhate, Tagliafico; Maitland-Niles, Tolisso, Morton, Fofana; Mikautadze.
As dem dey prepare for the game, pundits don dey talk say Lyon fit get rough time, but dem fit sneak some goal if dem no take time. Lens sef dey settle for their new system wey dey focus on possession. E go be serious wahala if dem no manage am well, because dem go dey vulnerable for counter-attack. (Lyon fit just stay dey wait like person wey dey catch fish.)
Last last, no matter di score, everybody go de jom jara because na we dey enjoy di football! Do you dey bet say both teams go score? No wahala, just sit down, carry your drinks and enjoy di show! Who go carry di day? We go see!
