Match announcement
Lens
FranceCurrent form
Lens has suffered a severe decline in play, and this concerns performances at home. In the last three rounds, Will Still protégés lost in front of local fans. In defense of the team, it can be said that the defeats were from strong teams: twice from PSG in the national cup in a penalty shootout (1:2) and in the national championship with a score of 1:2, also a minimal defeat with the same score from Toulouse. So far, this has not affected the team in the tournament ranking, because it is still in seventh place in the tournament table, but if the team loses points in the upcoming match, it may go down.
Disqualifications and injuries
Satriano, Labo Lascari and Chavez are injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lance has won just once in the last five rounds.
- The hosts have conceded in the last five games
Probable line-up: Ryan - Frankovski, Danso, Medina, Machado - Diouf, Thomasson - Sotoka, Fulgini, Zaruri - Koyalipu.
Angers
FranceCurrent form
In 2025, Angers seemed to be reborn. The team played four matches and won all of them. It is unclear what Alexandre Dujot, the team head coach, did. The team rose from the relegation zone to 12th place in the standings and is currently five points ahead of the play-off zone. In the national championship, the team is on a winning streak of three games in a row, with each match won by two goals. If they manage to play like that in the upcoming match, they will be able to fight for points even away from home against a strong opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sheriff will not play in the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Angers have scored in five games in a row
- The visitors have kept a clean sheet in three of their last five matches
Estimated line-up: Fofana – Arkus, Bumla, Lefort, Khanin – Akhulu, Belkebla – Allevina, Abdelli, El Melali – Lepol.

1.50Tip and bets
Lens are clearly not in the best form, and this is confirmed by the fact that in six of the last seven matches the team conceded in front of local fans. Angers played in earnest: in four previous games they scored twice. Such indicators lead to the idea that in this match the visitors will be able to score, but they themselves will hardly be able to keep a clean sheet.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 2.06
Bet on the outcome
We believe that bookmakers greatly underestimate the guests of the upcoming match, who have been sweeping away everyone in their path for the last month, and overestimate the home team, giving them a very small coefficient for their victory. At the moment, Lance is in search of his game, and while he is in this state, it is unlikely that he will be able to win with an advantage of several goals against an opponent who has gained momentum.
Our betting tip is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Angers with odds of 1.67
Bet on corners
Judging by how well Angers plays in attack, and Lens constantly presses on their home field, we have the opinion that the opponents will be able to make a decent number of passes from the corner flag between them. We will make another bet on the over total for this indicator.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners for 1.80
