Lens vs Lyon 02.10.2022

Lens will on Sunday lock horns with Lyon in a week 9 fixture at Stade Bollaert-Deletis. Lens will hope to improve from where they left off before the International break. Unbeaten in five League games, Lens boasts of a resounding performance at home as their last four matches saw them record back-to-back wins. Lens’s ability to score goals has improved as they have found the back of the net in five of their last six outings and they have had their net shaken in four games.

Lyon goes into this fixture after a goalless draw against Nantes, making it the only game this season where they failed to score, going into this game Lens’s manager will assign his troops to score for a win.

Lyon’s search for a win continues, With three back-to-back losses. Peter Bosz’s side last saw a win when they thumped Angers 5-0, after which they have bargained a 3-1 loss against Lorient, then a 2-1 loss to Monaco and recently a 1-0 loss to PSG. Lyon’s 9 goals in the recent five goals has seen them fired back in 4 games, their last four away games, had them record one win, two losses and two draws. Out to avoid a four loss, or else Bosz ‘s job continues hanging on a thread, his side is, however, a better side when the two compete, in their last H2H matches, Lyon has four direct wins in their last 8 meetings, but their current form demands much work if they have to bring Lens down in this tie.

We expect Lens will come back solid after the International break, the same is hoped for Lyon. Lens has been in a better form compared to Lyon, but we expect to see Lyon man up here, hence we anticipate a close-fought win by either side, with both teams scoring a goal and Lens under 2.5 goals.
