Lens vs Toulouse Predictions

• Lens have won 13 of their 15 home Ligue 1 games this season
• The hosts have scored 12 times on their run to the last four of the cup, conceding in three of their four games
• Toulouse have lost all six clashes with Ligue 1’s top three, including Friday’s 3-2 loss at Lens

Lens can secure cup final spot

While hopes of the Ligue 1 title are fading for Lens, they can still round out an incredible season by securing Champions League football and lifting the French Cup.

Lens face a quick reunion with Toulouse, after beating them 3-2 in Ligue 1 on Friday night. That win pushed Lens within a point of PSG, although the European champions have two games in hand. However, Luis Enrique’s side won’t be winning another treble this term, having already exited the French Cup.

Lens are in a great position, as they host 10th-placed Toulouse, with either Strasbourg or Nice up next in the final.

This looks like a step too far for Toulouse, who have lost all six of their encounters with the top three following Friday’s defeat. They’ve lost five of their last seven league games, and they meet a Lens side that are in impressive form at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

Lens have won 13 of their 15 home Ligue 1 games this season, while they’ve reached the last four of the cup in high-scoring form. Lens have struck 12 goals across the previous four rounds, while keeping only one clean sheet.

Visitors Toulouse have a solid attacking record this term, ranking ninth for Expected Goals. Each of their five visits to the top five in Ligue 1 have finished with both teams scoring, so goals are expected on Tuesday. However, Toulouse have lost big tests in each of their last three games, having shipped 10 goals across defeats to each of the top three. Back Lens to book their place in the final, but Toulouse can get on the scoresheet.
