Toulouse - Lens predictions

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Toulouse winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Lens, which is made quite clear with the 3.67 odds offered for a home win result.

If everything goes according to plan and Lens put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Asslim as it might have been, the HT/FT victory (Metz) was not something we expected from Toulouse and their previous Ligue 1 outing. They were the underdogs at 2.70 betting odds but they still emerged victorious.

The odds were stacked against Lens in the previous game, even if they had home-field advantage. With bookies pricing their victory at 1.91, hoping for success was quite a long shot. As expected, they were already behind at halftime and ended up losing the bout 0:2.

The $ODDS odds do not exactly favour the home team ahead of their meeting with Lens. Such a thing is hardly a surprise knowing that Toulouse are currently three places out of the relegation zone with 17 next to their name after 19 rounds.

The points from this game can go either way if the 2.14 away win odds are to be believed. For Lens, though, the match is a great shot at closing the 5 -point difference between them and a Europa League qualification. There’s plenty of time to bide their time, but getting there sooner rather than later would spare a lot of headaches down the line.

Toulouse supporters are hoping that the team will manage to beat the odds, but their chances aren’t great if the previous game is any indication. Lens secured a solid home win against them earlier in the season, and all signs are pointing to a similar outcome this time around.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Denis Genreau, Kévin Keben, Niklas Schmidt have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
