Lyon vs Lens Prediction 03.03.2024

• Competition: France Ligue 1
• Date: 03.03.2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon)

Lyon is beginning to recover from a dismal start to their season. There was a period when they even faced the threat of relegation, but after securing four consecutive victories in Ligue 1, the danger appears to have receded. They also triumphed over Lille in the 1/8 finals of the French Cup, which suggests that they could finish the season on a relatively high note if they manage to win the cup. It’s highly likely that Lyon will again miss out on European competitions for a second successive season, but there’s still the rest of the season to play and their performance seems to be improving.

Lens, a French team, has been making significant strides in recent seasons. This season, their focus is on securing a spot in one of the European competitions. Despite being dropped from the French Cup and the Europa League, they are still in the fight within Ligue 1, their final arena. Currently, they are holding the 6th position with 36 points, leaving the possibility of participating in any of the three European competitions wide open. However, it’s worth noting that Lens has failed to secure a win in their last four matches.

Lyon vs Lens pick: LYON TO WIN

In their recent four home games, Lyon has impressively allowed only a single goal, demonstrating a robust defense that has been generating confidence. It’s worth noting that these weren’t wins against average teams, but against superior Ligue 1 clubs like Lille and Nice. Conversely, Lens has managed to secure victory only once in their past 18 games at this stadium, making it a challenging away game for them. The probability for a Lyon win is quite high, making it an opportunity not to be overlooked. For those who prefer to take fewer risks, the double chance 1x is certainly a great choice.
