Lens vs Lyon Predictions

• The hosts have won all four of their home league matches but have kept a clean sheet just once.
• Both teams have scored in all three of Lyon’s away outings in Ligue 1.
• Lens home matches are averaging exactly four goals per game.

Solid Lens will fancy their chances

Remarkably, Lens are one of just three sides in Ligue one to still be undefeated and it’s a run that stretches back 16 matches. This will prove a stern test however, as Lyon will come here to play for a win. Lens missed out on European football by four points last term but it may have been a blessing in disguise as they can put all of their efforts into finishing as high in the league as possible.

Lyon come into this one off the back of a trio of defeats and the games do not get any easier as they travel to the fortress that is the Estadio Bollaert-Delelis. Like Lens, Lyon have no European football to be concerned about and their focus will also be to secure a top-five finish this season and as a result, clinch a spot in one of the European competitions next season.

Goals are the order of the day

Lens have scored at least twice in eight of their last nine home league outings and they have won seven of those. We expect plenty of goals here and whilst backing the hosts to clinch another win, the safer pick is for both teams to hit the back of the net and over 2.5 goals in total.
