Match Preview
As Lens prepares to host Olympique Lyonnais at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Saturday, both teams come into the match with contrasting recent form. Lens has struggled, recording just one win in their last five matches (LLWDW), while Lyon has shown more resilience with three wins in their last five outings (WWLWL). Historically, this fixture has been competitive, with Lens winning four of the last ten encounters, and both teams frequently finding the net—six of those matches saw both teams score. A key angle to consider is Lens' home advantage, which could play a pivotal role in the outcome. Despite their recent struggles, they have been formidable at home in previous seasons, and the atmosphere at Bollaert-Delelis can be intimidating for visiting teams. With odds of 1.73 for over 2.5 goals and 1.61 for both teams to score, a high-scoring affair seems likely, especially given the attacking talent on display. Expect a closely contested match, but Lyon's recent form may give them the edge they need to secure a vital away victory.
