Lyon vs Lens Prediction, Lineups & Odds

Lens to Cover the Line?

Lens +1 on the Asian Handicap looks like a good plan when they clash with Lyon. The underdogs can be backed at 2.01 and we benefit if they draw or win, while there’s money back for a single goal defeat.

Goalless Draw in Last H2H Clash

Champions League-chasing Lyon last game was a 4-1 win over Rennes at Groupama Stadium. That means it’s now been four home victories on the bounce. The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes outfit enjoyed 53% possession and seven shots on target, with Malick Fofana, Corentin Tolisso, Alexandre Lacazette and Georges Mikautadze bagging a goal.

RC Lens lost their previous game, being beaten at home to AJ Auxerre by a 4-0 scoreline at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Will Still's team dominated possession with 71% of the ball and recorded five shots on goal.

Lens haven’t lost to Lyon in their past three games, with the last clash ending 0-0 at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The past 9 H2H games have involved three wins apiece along with three draws.
