Brest vs Lens Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday, 13 August 2023.
Brest are set to host Lens at Stade Francis Le Blé to kick off their new Ligue 1 season. Brest have started the season with a string of strong preseason performances in an attempt to improve on their 14th-place finish from last season.
Their opponents, Lens, finished second in the league last season, losing the crown to PSG by a single point in the end. They will therefore hope to make a strong start to fight for the championship again this season after a successful preseason.
The last time these two clubs met was in February. The match ended in a 1-1 draw that day.
In the last ten meetings between the two teams. Brest has won three times, there have been three draws, and Lens has won four times.
However, Lens are on a three-game unbeaten streak against this opposition. They have also won this fixture on two of those occasions.
We are counting on Lens to pull off a win here. They are the superior team at the moment and have been in excellent shape building up to the season opener. They have only lost one preseason match, and that was against Manchester United. Additionally, their last seven league matches from the previous season were also all wins.
Brest, on the other hand, has had good success, although only against weaker opponents, and has also only won one of their previous three matches.
We expect goals in this match. Brest has scored goals at a fine rate at home in recent weeks. Their offensive statistics in the last three home matches point to an above 2.5 goal total. Also, three of Lens’s last four away matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, two of the last three h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Both teams have been scoring a decent number of goals in the preseason. The hosts have scored at least two goals in two of their last three home matches. While the visitors have scored 13 goals in their last seven matches.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Lens are one of the best teams in the league and have had a fine preseason heading into the match. Their last seven league matches from the previous season were all victories. They also have a fine recent record against Brest. Furthermore, Brest’s recent form has seen a modest downturn leading up to the encounter.
A victory for Lens at 1.90 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Furthermore, the both teams to score odds of 1.80 look quite attractive. Given both clubs’ strong attacking prowess and recent goal participation at both ends of the pitch.
