Olympique Marseille - Lens betting tips and odds

Though Olympique Marseille are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Olympique Marseille, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Olympique Marseille lost their previous away game, although the narrow 1:0 margin means it’s nothing to be ashamed of. After all, Paris Saint Germain , their opponents, were given odds of 1.50 for a victory. They pulled ahead in the first half and Olympique Marseille never managed to equalize.

Lens have a strong track record when it comes to playing on their home field. Last round they strolled through a relaxed match against Montpellier that may not have met everyone’s expectations in terms of action, but won them three points either way.

Lens’s record shows zero concessions over their previous three home games. As such, Away winning to Nill seems like a solid option to consider.

The home team managed to win 23 points so far and climb up to be number 4th in the standings. The battle is fat from over, though – winning against Lens will not be easy, and most of the season is yet to be played.

Although Lens had a great start this season, we’re only a few rounds in and their odds of winning this match are not looking great. Most bookies consider them clear underdogs, so the 5 points they’d need to catch up to the table leaders are more distant than they seem.

The two teams last met in the previous season when Olympique Marseille won the clash with a convincing goal difference. Their fans are expecting another clear-cut triumph and the bookmakers tend to agree.

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

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 1.95. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
