Strasbourg - Lens betting tips and odds

Strasbourg are no strangers to surprises but with 3.80 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

With 2.06 odds for an away win, Lens have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

The hosts’ latest home game performance left a lot to be desired. Online bookmakers saw their victory as the most likely outcome, as could be seen in the 1.91 betting odds. However, they were already behind after the first 45 minutes and never managed to pull themselves together and take back the initiative.

With a home win priced at 2.20, not many Lens supporters had much hope of them winning the home game they played last week. However, they took their opponents by surprise, scored early, and proceeded to record an HT/FT victory with a decisive goal difference.

Strasbourg’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Ligue 1 matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

After 18 rounds in the Ligue 1, Strasbourg are sitting in the relegation zone. With 3.80 betting odds on the home win, the situation is not getting any easier for the hosts who will have a big fish to fry this Wednesday in their struggle for safety.

Lens displayed very strong form in the 18 games they played so far this season. They’re in a Champions League qualifying spot. Not that qualification is anywhere close, of course – we’re only at round 18. That said, they’ll be highly motivated to win in Stade de la Meinau, even though the two teams are more or less equal in strength.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Eiji Kawashima, Karol Fila, Maxime Le Marchand, Thomas Delaine have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

The visiting team’s position as favourites is beyond question, especially with their whole roster at hand. They’ve had no recent injuries heading into the match at Strasbourg,

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
