Saint-Étienne - Lens betting tips and odds

The hosts have everything stacking up against them in this match including the betting odds of 3.30. Saint-Étienne will indeed find it very hard to beat Lens here but nothing is impossible if you try hard enough.

The visitors are not walking into an easy match by any means, but they should be able to come out on top. Winning this match will be a welcome boost to their rankings, though such an outcome is priced at 2.21.

Saint-Étienne’s latest outing against Nantes was somewhat uneventful, ending in a narrow 0:1 home defeat. They were evenly matched with their opponents up until the half-time mark, but the match ended in a 0:1 for the visitors.

The first half of Lens’s previous home match against Rennes was a stalemate, but a deciding goal in the second half led to a narrow 1:0 home win. Considering Rennes were seen as more likely to win, Lens’s fans have a lot to be happy about.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Saint-Étienne have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Our confidence that Lens will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

The remainder of the season will not be easy for Saint-Étienne. They’ll need to work hard just to get out of the relegation zone, for which they’ll need 4 points.

While the 6th place in the standings Lens hold isn’t bad, it’s nothing to write home about either. A win in Stade Geoffroy-Guichard would be a great way to show the world they can record better results – especially since there’s plenty of time in the season to move up the ladder.

Looking at the head-to-head stats between these two squads, we see a tied game from an earlier round. This was a missed opportunity for Saint-Étienne, who should have had an easy time earning 3 points in a home game. They’re still the favourites, but their chances of winning the game are smaller than they were in that previous bout.

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.

With odds being at 2.29 with Bet-At-Home, an Away Win is an easy bet to make. They have the upper hand in this clash despite the home field disadvantage.
