Lens - Brest predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Brest are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Lens should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

At 3.98 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Brest are well aware of it themselves.

The previous 1:2 victory we saw from Lens may not have been as decisive as was expected, but it netted them 3 points either way. An early advantage against Le Havre led them straight into an away win.

Brest lost their previous league away game 2:0 after managing to maintain a draw in the first half. Ligue 1 betting predictions saw such an outcome coming from a mile away, though, and the odds were decidedly against them from the get-go.

In terms of the teams’ head-to-head history, it’s clear that the hosts have the upper hand. Last season they overcame Brest on several occasions, each time with a considerable margin. The visitors will be looking to leave a better impression this season, but it won’t be easy.

Friday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.91, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
