After managing a 6th-place finish in the previous Ligue 1 term under Paulo Fonseca, Lyon suddenly got in huge danger of getting relegated for administrative reasons during the summer.
They survived the threat and will still compete in the highest level of French football. However, Fonseca will need to get used to life without several key players in his last year’s rotation.
Rayan Cherki and Thiago Almada will represent the biggest losses but the team also left withozt Jordan Veretout, Duje Caleta-Car, Lucas Perri, and Alexandre Lacazette among others.
Lens also lost several big names from their 8th-place finish in the previous Ligue 1 term, including Facundo Medina who signed for Marseille.
They are one of just two teams in the league to have made a managerial change so far this summer. Pierre Sage took over Will Still who went to take his first job in English football.
Both Lens and Lyon looked good in preseason. The hosts won four of the last five exhibitions, bagging at least two goals in each of the victories in the process.
The latest was a 2-1 home success against RB Leipzig last weekend with second-half strikes from Thomasson and Udoi.
Lens also have three wins and a draw in the previous four head-to-head matches against Lyon.
The visitors come into this on the back of three wins in the last four exhibitions. They only lost 1-2 to Bayern Munich at the start of the month.
Lens won just 7 of 17 home matches last year. Lyon looked good in preseason and we will back them to avoid a defeat at the 1.61 odds.
Considering the two teams’ attacking rhythm in the preseason, the Both Teams To Score pick is the best second pick at the 1.57 odds.
