Arsenal vs Lens prediction 29.11.2023

• Competition: Champions League 
• Date: Wednesday, 29th November 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK/21:00 CET
• Venue: Emirates Stadium (London)

Another significant Champions League match is set for Wednesday night in London, where Arsenal will be battling to secure their position in the knockout phase. Lens, on the other hand, will be seeking an opportunity to gain points that could potentially keep their hopes alive for the final round of the group phase. Although Arsenal are the favorites to win, Lens has previously triumphed over the English team in France, implying that the forthcoming match could be highly competitive.

Last season, Arsenal made their comeback to the premier league, leading for nearly the entire season. Despite not clinifying the title under Arteta, they made significant progress. Currently, they are once again at the top, albeit with only a one-point lead over Manchester City. After securing victories in their last three matches, they approach their game against Lens with high confidence. In their prior match, they secured a 1-0 victory against Brentford on their turf. Despite dominating ball possession (64%) and having more goal attempts, it was not an easy win for Mikel Arteta’s team. Ultimately, a late second-half goal by Kai Havertz secured all three points for them.

Lens are exhibiting a strong performance this season, securing the sixth position in Ligue 1. The gap to reach the top four is only a point. They have been defeated just once in their last 12 matches across all competitions. They claimed a 3-0 victory on the road against Clermont in their previous match. Despite an xG of only 0.55, Lens managed to score three goals and secure an effortless win. This type of victory will undeniably boost Lens’s confidence as they prepare for their upcoming match against Arsenal.

Arsenal vs Lens pick: Under 3.5 goals

In the past four games, Arsenal has conceded only two goals. Additionally, three out of these four games had less than 3.5 goals. Conversely, Lens has seen less than 3.5 goals in 13 out of their last 14 games. Therefore, betting on under 3.5 goals would be the safest bet for this match.
