Lorient vs Lens 09.02.2023

With only 1 win in their last 5 games (D2 L2), Lorient’s form is wanting at this stage of the season. In the previous round of the Coupe de France, Lorient needed post-match penalties to edge out Ligue 2 side Bastia after a 1-1 draw. Furthermore, the home side could only manage a 0-0 draw against Angers in Ligue 1 over the weekend.

Lens are 3rd in Ligue 1 despite a not so good record in the league recently (W1 D3 L1). In the Coupe de France, they comfortably dismissed Brest 3-1 to qualify for this stage and will be hoping to go one step further with victory here.

Current form slightly favors Lens against Lorient. In recent head-to-head games, Lens also have the advantage with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. We thus feel that Lens are likely to win in this match, even though a draw can’t be completely ruled out.
