Lens vs Lyon Predictions

• Lens have taken seven points from three league games this season
• Both teams have scored in six of the last eight Ligue 1 meetings between these sides
• Lyon’s three league games have produced 12 goals

Hosts fancied to win

Lyon had a slow start last season and have begun poorly again this time around. They were beaten by Rennes and Monaco to start the campaign by an aggregate score of 5-0.

Off the field issues are plaguing the French giants, with many of their big names being put up for sale and those problems have started to spill over onto the pitch.

OL were behind three times against Strasbourg last time out and despite recording a comeback 4-3 victory, their defence still is hard to have faith in after that performance.

They visit Lens, who have had a solid start to the campaign after a disappointing last year.

The hosts finished seventh after being runners-up to Paris Saint Germain in 2022/23 and they will be looking to get back to their previous levels.

They beat Angers and Brest to open the new season before grinding out a 1-1 draw against Monaco and returning to home soil, they are fancied to secure another three points against these struggling opponents.

Both teams have scored in six of the last eight Ligue 1 meetings between these sides so correct score backers should have a 2-1 home win in mind.
