Betting on Football Club Lorient
Getting into Europe seems complicated for Lorient because it is eight points away from the positions that grant access to continental competitions. Nevertheless, mathematically it is still possible. The team would have to wait for several results, but for now, it will continue doing its job and collecting points.
Lorient has not lost in three matches and is playing well. It defeated PSG 1-3 at Parc des Princes in a great match, beat Brest 2-1, and drew 1-1 against the always tough Montpellier in the last matchday.
At home, this team has won eight out of 17 matches, only conceding 17 goals. It has shown to be a strong team, although its second half of the season was weak. It went from being in Champions League positions to being out of Europe. Can this team turn the tide?
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Yvon Mvogo; Bamo Meite, Montassar Talbi, Vincent Le Goff; Gedeon Kalulu, Bonke Innocent, Laurent Abergel, Darlin Yongwa; Romain Faivre, Enzo Le Fee; Ibrahima Kone.
Betting on Lens
Lens still has hopes of becoming champions, all mathematically possible, but quite complicated. It is in second place, six points behind PSG with nine games to go. If PSG doesn’t win any of the three remaining matches, and Lens win all of its games, it will be champions. Sounds too complicated?
However, the team is closing the season with a perfect and very impressive record, winning the last four games consecutively. It beat Monaco 3-0, Toulouse 1-0, Marseille 2-1, and celebrated a 2-1 victory against Reims in the last home game. Lens knows it can’t take its foot off the gas, and every win puts pressure on Lionel Messi and his teammates.
When it plays away from home, The Blood and Gold is a fierce competitor. It lost only three out of 17 games, scoring more goals than it has conceded (21 goals for, 14 against).
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Brice Samba; Jonathan Gradit, Steven Fortes, Facundo Medina; Prezemyslaw Frankowski, Salis Abdul Samed, Seko Fofana, Deiver Machado; Florian Sotocca, Adrien Thomasson; Lois Openda.
JefeBet Prediction
Lens is determined to spoil the party in Paris and will leave no stone unturned to grab three points. This team has proved to be a great away performer and its recent winning streak is remarkable. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that this team will clinch its fifth consecutive victory and keep its dreams of lifting the trophy alive.
Prediction: Lens Moneyline (LOR 1-3 LEN)
