Lens - Nîmes betting tips and odds

It’s easy to point out Lens as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

With a price of 5.25 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Nîmes will likely not fare well against Lens. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Lens are coming on the back of a narrowly avoided home defeat against Brest . Hope seemed lost after a sub-first half, but an equalizer in the late game allowed them to walk away with a single point (1:1) and their pride intact.

Nîmes’s previous outing at their home stadium ended inconclusively. However, they kicked off as clear underdogs compared to Strasbourg, who were the away team. With that in mind, the 1:1 score at the end is not that disappointing.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

We suggest staying away from Over 2.5 Goals or Both Teams to Score bets this Sunday. Nîmes confirmed the Under 2.5 Market in all 5 of their previous home games, and a home-field disadvantage is not likely to change that.

Lens will be aiming to get closer to the Champions League qualification this Sunday. Their odds of walking away with another 3 points seem fairly decent, but they’ll need to make up a 15-point difference with barely any time left in they want to get out of the Europa League spots.

Nîmes are on their way to avoid relegation this year, but they’re not out of the woods yet. They’re 18th in the standings, but the difficult match at Lens might end up with them dropping further down.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

The risks involved in backing a BTTS bet for this match are minimal. Both Lens and Nîmes have a history of confirming the market so the 1.80 odds offered at bet365 is too good to pass up.
