Lyon arrive in solid unbeaten form while Lens keep slipping up. The price of 2.90 on the away win looks too big to ignore.

Why it might land
  • Lyon enter this match on a strong run of form after picking up three wins and two draws from their last five outings.
  • Lens are struggling badly for consistency lately having suffered three defeats in their last five matches across the league.
  • The bookmakers offer a tempting price of 2.90 for Lyon to win given how poorly the home side have performed recently.
Why it might not
  • Lens play this fixture at the Stade Bollaert Delelis where home support can usually inspire a much needed reaction.
  • Lyon managed only draws in two of their last five fixtures which proves they can still drop points on the road.

Lens struggle to score reliably during their current losing slump so a clean sheet for the visitors is entirely possible.

The total goals line sits at 3.5 with the under priced at 1.56 because neither side shows a habit of blowing teams away.

Members analysis

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes Lens the side to beat here at 42%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Lyon, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Lyon arrive in solid unbeaten form while Lens keep slipping up. The price of 2.90 on the away win looks too big to ignore.

Form and momentum

Lens come in strong, winning 60% of 40 on record. 15 of their 19 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a side that scores freely. Right now they are on 1 loss in a row.

Lyon come in solid, winning 55% of 40 on record. 8 of their 20 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a side that scores freely. Right now they are on 2 wins in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 42% for RCL, 25% for the draw and 32% for LYON once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.90, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

When these two meet

These two have been level across 2 past meetings, 1 wins each and 0 drawn. Nothing in the history separates them.

Where it could go wrong
  • Lens play this fixture at the Stade Bollaert Delelis where home support can usually inspire a much needed reaction.
  • Lyon managed only draws in two of their last five fixtures which proves they can still drop points on the road.
The bottom line

We back Lyon for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.

Old meetings are worth less than they look. Squads change, managers change, and a result from two seasons ago tells you almost nothing about this one.
