Lens vs Strasbourg Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in French Ligue 1 on Friday, 7 April 2023.
Lens are currently the best team in the French top flight, and they are really going for the title. It helps their cause that toppers PSG are going through a poor stretch of performances.
Also, it is in their best interest that they are pitted against Strasbourg, who are barely over the relegation cut-off.
The reverse fixture ended in a 2-2 draw, and contrary to recent results, Strasbourg have the better h2h record in the past few years. In fact, they are unbeaten at this venue since 2009.
Lens are on a three-game winning streak, and have a combined scorecard of 8-0 in the process. They lost just thrice in all competitions since April 2022, and just once at home.,
As a matter of fact, barring just two games, the team has a perfect winning record at this venue this whole season – in all competitions.
On the other hand, Strasbourg have just two wins on the road this entire season in all competitions, and are easily massive underdogs this weekend. Expect a win for hosts Lens this Friday.
Lens scored three or more goals in four of the past eight appearances at home, while their counterparts are struggling on the road, and let in 12 goals from their last five away fixtures.
Anticipate a high-scoring affair this Friday between the two squads.
Lens kept clean sheets in their last three games in a row, while their opposite number Strasbourg failed to find the back of the net in two of their past five road trips.
It would be unwise to count on the struggling Strasbourg to slot in a goal against the in-form hosts.
Lens need a surplus of six points to climb to the top of the table, and at present they are the only team in the whole league to have won the last three fixtures in a row. At the same time, toppers PSG lost their last two fixtures, and are locking horns with Nice next.
Moreover, the hosts of the day lost just once at this venue this whole season in all competitions, whereas their counterparts Strasbourg have just two wins on the road in the 2022-23 season.
Likely, a -1.5 Asian Handicap on Lens appears to be a decent pick at 2.25.
On that same note, they have a combined scorecard of 8-0 from their last three games, while guests Strasbourg let in two or more goals in nine of their past eleven road trips.
As such, the Over 2.5 Match Goals looks quite promising at 1.90 odd.
