Lille vs Lens Betting Tips &— BTTS
After securing a 1-1 draw against Brest two weeks ago, Lille is set to return to the field on Friday. Under the guidance of Paul Fonseca, the team has remained undefeated in their last five games, following a 3:1 defeat to Toulouse in late February.
Lille, presently holding the fourth position in the division, owes their standing in Ligue 1 to their strong record. Les Dogues have an impressive performance, with only one loss in 12 home league matches this season. Furthermore, they have remained unbeaten in 27 out of their last 28 Ligue 1 matches at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Nonetheless, Lille will face a serious challenge to their abilities this weekend, as Lens, who are visiting, are currently experiencing an exceptional streak of form in their away games. Les Sang et Or have emerged victorious in three of their last four away games, and they have only suffered one defeat in their last ten road matches (W5, D4, L1).
Nonetheless, Franck Haise’s team enters this match following a 3-1 loss to Nice at their home ground before the international break. Les Sang et have experienced defeat in three of their previous five games.
It’s unquestionably challenging to predict the outcome of this match with any certainty, considering the recent evenly matched games between these northern rivals. Both Teams To Score (BTTS) was the result in four of their last five clashes. Of these, three ended in a draw, including two 1:1 results in their latest league matches. Since 2022 began, each team has recorded one victory.
In history, Lille has a robust home record against Lens, with seven victories in their last eight encounters since 2006. However, I anticipate Lens to score this Friday, and a low-scoring draw appears to be the most probable result at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
I’m taking a chance on BTTS in what should prove a competitive Ligue 1 contest.
