Betting on Lens
Lens beat Clermont by 4-0, and earned three important points that will help the team stay firmly in the fight to move up to second place in the Ligue 1 standings. Lens’ season has been quite good, with a record of 15 wins, nine draws, and three defeats. It has 54 points, just two points behind Marseille, and 12 points behind PSG.
The team has been doing a good job defensively, which is why it is the team with the lowest number of goals conceded (21) in 27 games. In fact, its defense has looked better in its home games with a total of 10 goals conceded, helping Lens achieve a record of 11 wins, one draw, and one loss, for it holds the second best home record.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Matz Sels; Ismael Doukoure, Alexander Djiku, Maxime Le Marchand; Frédéric Guilbert, Morgan Sanson, Ibrahima Sissoko, Dimitri Liénard, Eduard Sobol; Kévin Gameiro, Habib Diallo.
Betting on Angers
Angers is showing no signs of life, and it seems destined for relegation this season. It is currently the worst team in the competition with two wins, four draws, and 21 defeats in 27 matches.
Its defense has allowed 60 goals against, which is evidence of a dismal defensive performance. Likewise, there is not much offensive productivity to speak of, as with 21 goals scored, it is the second lowest amount of goals in the season.
Angers is currently on a run of four consecutive defeats, and has now gone 19 games without a win in Ligue 1. Unfortunately, that disastrous performance continues in away games, where it has won only one of 13 matches. In addition, the team has just lost its last away game by a score of 5-0.
Possible Lineup (5-3-2): Paul Bernardoni; Farid El Melali, Yan Valery, Miha Blazic, Cédric Hountondji, Souleyman Doumbia; Himad Abdelli, Batista Mendy, Pierrick Capelle; Adrien Hunou, Abdallah Sima.
JefeBet Prediction
Angers’ weakness this season makes it the undoubted underdog, and even if it was playing at home, that wouldn’t change a thing. Lens, on the other hand, is a well-rounded team that is enjoying success.
Therefore, a home win is expected, and considering the offensive facilities of the opponent, there could be a score that exceeds the Over (2.5).
Prediction: Lens wins by 3-0.
