Lens - Angers SCO predictions

With the odds set at 1.48 for a home win, Lens winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Lens and the 7.06 odds given to Angers SCO to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

Lens were in the lead after the first half of their previous home game against Paris Saint Germain , which came as a surprise considering the 4.16 odds on a home win. The 1:2 end result was somewhat more predictable, though.

Angers SCO are coming on the back of top-notch performance in their recent home game against Auxerre in which they won the game 2:0. Better yet, they were in the lead for most of the match, which only makes the victory more decisive.

We’ve seen Lens and their attacking lineup perform admirably over their latest 3 away games by scoring more than 5 times. They’re the home team this time around – but that should merely serve to push them further.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

Though Lens are in the upper half of the Ligue 1 table, they’re 3 points behind European places. Current state of affairs is not exactly what we’d consider a success. However, their fans are hoping that the showdown against Angers SCO will be a step in the right direction.

Lens played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Sunday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

Jhoanner Chávez Quintero, Denis Petrić, Martín Satriano will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
