Tip and bets
At the start of the tournament Metz had some hope for a success, but now team is in a terrible form and a spot in the relegation zone is fully deserved. Lens got off to a great start, but it will be extremely hard to keep the second spot.
We think that hosts will pick up three points due to their discipline, class and a huge motivation.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on Lens
We are not expecting many goal opportunities, because teams are not perfect on offense, but defenders are playing well. We think that the outcome will be decided by one or two goals.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
