Clermont vs Lens Predictions

• Clermont have scored in six of their seven home Ligue 1 fixtures this season.
• Lens have scored ten goals in their seven league road trips this term.
• Lens have conceded 11 goals in their last five away league games.

Hosts can score against leaky Lens defence

Lens will attempt to halt a run of three straight defeats against struggling Clermont Foot on Wednesday.

Sang et Or began the season really well, taken ten points from their first four away trips and taking some notable scalps along the way.

But things have come apart for Franck Haise’s men of late – at least on their travels – as defeats to Montpellier, Lyon and Brest have become progressively worse.

The 4-0 reverse in Brittany was tough to take, but Lens were unable to bounce back with a win last weekend due to Angers’ never-say-die spirit. This is a game they will be targeting for a win, particularly as Clermont have lost their last five games now.

A promising start to their first season in the top-flight has quickly turned sour for Pascal Gastien’s men as they are now one point off the bottom and the relegation favourites.

Lens must keep focus on this game

One glance at their results will tell you that this team is not giving up on their survival goal. Clermont have not lost a game by more than one goal in two months and gave Nice a scare recently. They led from the 17th to the 76th minute of that home contest and we rate their chances of scoring in this one too.

Lens have conceded far too many in the last five road trips and may also be slightly distracted by the fixture against Paris Saint Germain that follows on Saturday. If any of their players take their eye off this one, Clermont could snatch a score draw. Our selection is going to be both teams to score, however, as it offers a but more safety.
