Lens vs Reims Predictions

• Lens are unbeaten in eight at home (W6, D2).
• Reims have lost three of their last four.
• Lens have lost just one at home in Ligue 1 (W4, D2).

In-form Lens host stuttering Reims

Lens claimed a Europa League spot on Tuesday with a 2-1 win over Sevilla in the Champions League and return to domestic action with a clash against key rivals Reims at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

These sides are level on 23 points and are targeting the European spots but Lens are a team in form as they are unbeaten in Ligue 1 since September, while Reims have three defeats in their last four.

Home a fortress for Lens

Lens finished second in the standings last season and their success was built on an incredible home record.

After a mixed start to the season, they have made the Stade Bollaert-Delelis a stronghold once again with six wins and two draws in their last eight at their home ground. Reims have lost their last two away games, so a home win appeals here for our main bet.

Reims are yet to draw a blank on their travels and Lens have only managed two clean sheets at home across all competitions. As such, goals at both ends should be expected here and a 3-1 win for the hosts is the correct score prediction – as Lens have scored 10 goals across their last four home fixtures in all competitions.

Polish midfielder Przemyslaw Frankowski has three goals in his last three games and is now Lens’ designated penalty taker, so he looks the best candidate for an anytime goal here.
