Lens vs Lyon: prediction for the Ligue 1 match
Lens and Lyon will face each other in a Ligue 1 clash. Both opponents are currently in a top half of the standings. Will the visitors suffer another defeat? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Lens
FranceLens are enjoying a great start of the season. Team is at the 4th place with 18 points. 3rd-placed Lorient are just one point ahead. The Blood and Golds have a chance to climb higher with a victory. However, Franck Haise's men had way too many draws in recent matches. Lens dropped the points in match against the mid-table teams - Reims (1:1) and Nantes (0:0).
Lyon
FranceLyon are also at the top half of the standings. Team stands at the 6th spot, but visitors are too far behind the Top-4. The Lions have 13 points, they are five points adrift from Lens. Peter Bosz' men are currently in a poor form - they have lost three games in a row. Lyon suffered all of these defeats to higher-ranked clubs.

Tip and bets
We are not sure about the winner of this match. Lyon are lower in the standings and suffered three consecutive defeats, Lens are in a much better form, but a string of defeats will drive Lyon forward, so we are expecting a strong offensive performance. Lens also won't try to sit out on defense.
Our prediction - total over three goals
However, hosts should be able to win this game. Lens gained momentum and they are unlikely to lose to the out-of-form Lyon. Visitors lost three previous matches to Top-4 teams, so we are not expecting a success from the guests today.
Our second bet is on Lens to win
