Lens - Olympique Lyonnais betting tips and odds

Beating Olympique Lyonnais will not be easy, but we believe Lens are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Olympique Lyonnais will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. Lens are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

After a failed attempt last time out, Lens will have another chance to improve their goal difference with yet another home game. The hosts were heavily priced to record a convincing win last time out (6.00). From a punter’s point of view, however, it’s still a HT/FT win and that’s what matters.

Olympique Lyonnais are here on the back of a noted triumph against Nice. They maintained an impressive lead throughout the match, which lead to a comfortable 2:0 home victory.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

While Olympique Lyonnais seem to be more comfortable in the role of hosts with 3 consecutive home wins, their strong recent performances mean that Lens will need to be careful this Saturday.

Looking back at the track record for this matchup, it’s easy to justify the favourable betting odds for Olympique Lyonnais winning. They already defeated Lens earlier in the season, and are likely to do so again.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 2.04. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
