Lens - Olympique Lyonnais betting tips and odds

Lens will likely try to secure a draw at most. They are outclassed by Olympique Lyonnais, plain and simple, and most bookies online agree with this – after all, the betting odds on a home win for this match are 4.20.

With a price of 1.83 on them winning, Olympique Lyonnais 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.

Lens faced off against Strasbourg in the previous round. Most betting predictions favoured Strasbourg due to the home-field advantage, but the visitors did well to take an early lead in the first half and claw their way towards a hairpin victory (1:2).

The 2:4 result of Olympique Lyonnais’s home match against Paris Saint Germain was expected by most online sportsbooks. Olympique Lyonnais were clear underdogs at the start of the game, and it quickly went south for them.

With 7 goals in their previous 3 Ligue 1 matches, Lens’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Olympique Lyonnais is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

Lens’s 5th table position will not be easy to keep going forward. With the end of the season rapidly approaching, all of the teams will be highly motivated to scramble for every point possible and the clash this Saturday will be a tough nut to crack.

If Olympique Lyonnais stay on their current position, they will be playing at this year’s Champions League. All the teams will be giving their best as the season’s end draws closer, though, and they’ll need to be careful not to fumble their position. Thankfully, the showdown at LensS will likely go their way.

We can rely on the teams’ previous meeting as a point of reference. Earlier in the season, Olympique Lyonnais won a Ligue 1 match against Lens in a relatively close game. With that in mind, the 1.83 odds on the visitors winning make a lot of sense.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

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 1.67, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
