Clermont - Lens betting tips and odds

Clermont are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Ligue 1, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.60, it’s not very likely to happen.

With a price of 1.85 on them winning, Lens should definitely feel more confident going into this match. Of course, the difference is not insurmountable, so we’d say a draw is quite likely as well.

Clermont did not have high hopes for their previous league game. As 5.50 underdogs, Clermont were expected to go through a heavy beating. Instead, they kept a level first half and managed to score a decisive goal to get them a surprising Toulouse away victory!

Lens home supporters faced disappointment in the previous round as their team dropped the lead they secured in the game’s first half. Ligue 1 betting odds placed the two sides at more or less equal footing, so the victory would have been a valuable one.

Clermont’s last five Ligue 1 appearances all ended with less than two goals on the final tally. With that in mind, an Under 2.5 Goals market might be something to consider.

An easy Away Win is expected on Sunday. Lens travel to Stade Gabriel Montpied looking to close the gap behind the league leaders and have every right to hope for a positive outcome. After all, there is a good reason behind bookies have decision to install them as 1.85 favourites to win.

We can rely on the teams’ previous meeting as a point of reference. Earlier in the season, Lens won a Ligue 1 match against Clermont in a relatively close game. With that in mind, the 1.85 odds on the visitors winning make a lot of sense.

With no players out due to injury or suspension, both teams will have their full lineups ready for a thrilling showdown.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.74.
