Command Analysis

Lens

Current form
"Lens" is not as stable as we would like. In 11 matches played in the national championship, the "blood-and-gold" won four, tied five times and suffered two defeats. During these matches, they managed to score 12 goals and conceded nine. They play much better on their home field. In the last ten games in front of local fans, the hosts lost only once. That is why, despite the formidable opponent, the club is listed as the favorite.
Disqualifications and injuries
Said, Cabo, Aguilar and Satriano are injured, while Khusanov and Gradi will not take to the field due to disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lens have failed to score in three of their last four home games
- The hosts have conceded goals in three games in a row
Estimated line-up: Samba - Sarr, Danso, Medina - Fulgini, Diouf, Zaruri, Machado - Thomasson - Sotoka, Nzola.

Marseille

Current form
Under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi, Marseille demonstrates an attacking style of play. This is confirmed by the fact that the team has scored 24 goals in 11 matches played. Only PSG has scored more (33). At the same time, the guests have a problem in the defensive line, because over the past part of the season they have conceded 15 times (the worst result among the first eight teams). Nevertheless, the team is in third place in the standings and is only three points behind Monaco, which is in second place in the ranking.
Disqualifications and injuries
Blanco, Mumbanja, Carboni, Nadir and Khaprit are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Marseille have conceded in their last three matches
- The visitors have failed to score in only one of their last five matches.
Probable line-up: Rulli - Murillo, Balerdi, Kondogbia, Merlin - Rabiot, Hojbjerg - Greenwood, Luis Enrique, Rowe - Maupay.

1.70Tip and bets
For some reason, bookmakers are inclined to think that the match will be productive. We don't think so. Three points are at stake, and they are very important for both teams, so the teams will most likely focus on defensive actions, and it is unlikely that they will score more than three goals. This bet has been successful in the last five head-to-head matches.
Our prediction is total under three goals with odds of 1.64
Bet on the outcome
We can't single out any particular club in this match. Lens is not so good at home and has lost points in three of its last five matches, while Marseille, on the contrary, has demonstrated quality results away from home, having won four of its last five matches. All this suggests that there will be no winner in this match.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.45
Bet on corners
In two of the last three head-to-head matches, the teams have taken 14 corners between them. It is unlikely that they will be able to repeat this over-total, but it is more than possible to take ten corners.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.65
