Lens Olympique Lyonnais betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be Olympique Lyon not winning. Although, on paper, the away team is stronger, Lens is going through an excellent phase, where they have won many victories and demonstrated an enviable attack. Furthermore, it is important to highlight the poor performance of Olympique Lyon in the last games played away from home. In this way, Lens is expected to make the home factor count and win at least one draw.

The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 19‑02‑2022, and ended in a draw by (1‑1).

Lens comes for this clash with a 0-0 draw at Nantes, thus continuing without losing in this edition of Ligue 1. The home team usually plays in a 3-4-3, favoring a faster style of play, being that the three most advanced players are Florian Sotoca, David Costa and Lois Openda: the first player mentioned is the top scorer of this team, with 5 goals signed. The man responsible for defining and leading his team's attacks is midfielder Seko Fofana. Coach Franck Haise will not be able to count on Wesley Said due to physical problems.

Coach: F. Haise.

Analysis Lyon

The away team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 13 points won, after 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Monaco, by (2‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Paris Saint Germain, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 1 point in away matches and 12 points at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 4 goals conceded at home, against 3 goals scored and 6 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away matches Lyon has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5.

In 8 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Olympique Lyon comes for this clash unmotivated after a 0-1 home defeat against PSG, thus registering the third consecutive defeat in this Ligue 1.
