Lens - Lorient betting tips and odds

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.55 is a solid option. That said, Lorient may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

With a price of 6.50 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Lorient will likely not fare well against Lens. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Lens managed to scrape together a narrow home win against Rennes in the previous round. Still, their opponents were widely considered the favourites, so the 2:1 result is a decent success.

The latest 2:1 home win by Lorient was quite predictable – it went down the way most betting predictions said it would. They secured an early lead against Clermont and carried it all the way to the final 2:1 result.

Lens have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

The hosts will be looking to take advantage of this favourable matchup to work towards the top spot in the Ligue 1 standings. They’re fairly high up as it is, and a win here will be great for morale.

With 7 points collected so far, Lorient earned a decent spot in the standings at 5th. They’ll need to give all they have to defend that position, though. They’re marked as clear underdogs, and we’re only at round 5 of this Ligue 1 season.

These two teams met in the previous season, and things went quite poorly for Lens. They lost the game to a considerable goal difference. However, the 1.55 betting odds for a home win make it clear that the teams’ forms are quite different this time around.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Wednesday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.86 at Betway.
