Lens vs Lille Prediction and Expert Tips

Lens vs Lille Match Preview

Lens started the campaign well enough by winning and losing two of their four Ligue 1 matches. What makes the run good even though they have lost two is the teams they’ve lost to. They were beaten by PSG and Lyon, who’ve kicked off the campaign very well. A victory of the coming game will settle matters to some extent for the Lens team but there is an issue in that as well.

Only two teams remain undefeated this season. PSG and Lille are among them. Lens already played PSG and they are now going to play Lille in round 5 of the Ligue 1 on Saturday. Lille began this season averagely, playing a 3-3 tie against Brest. But since the second game, they went into the winning streak that is continued until the fourth round.

Lille possess the league’s best attacking line with 13 goals in four matches. More impressively, there is harmony in the frontline with four Lille players having each scored 2 goals. Bruno Genesio’s confidence does not stop here. Lille possess a six-match winning run against Lens. But on Lens’ home turf, Lille possess a four-match unbeaten run of which three saw a draw. So, we anticipate a fascinating encounter between these two teams at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Saturday.

Lens vs Lille Prediction

Lens have one win and one loss at home. The most recent of those was a convincing 3-1 victory against Brest. That is not enough to beat an unbeaten team like Lille for sure. Furthermore, Lille is two games unbeaten away. Nevertheless, Lille’s 3-3 draw with Brest proves a point here.

As Lille’s attack sets all the cylinders ablaze, the defense has not yet acquired a strength as they conceded 4 goals in two away trips. Conceding 3 goals from the side of Brest surely an advantage for Lens over Lille since Lens have already beaten Brest winning 3-1 on home soil.

Backing a winner between these two is a true tough task. But there is no doubt for a both teams to score show as both teams possess defensive pitfalls. Taking the over 2.5 goal market along with both teams to score will provide excellent value. And to take a result tip into account, we prefer to recommend a win or draw for the Lille team as they possess a better run in the tournament so far compared to Lens.
