Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Lens to Win or Draw – 1.52
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Under 3.5 Goals – 1.52
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Anytime Correct Score 1-0 – 1.83
Lens to Win or Draw
Lens have a 100% chance to win this game after winning all four of their home games. Lyon meanwhile have no wins on the road drawing one and losing two of their three away games. Two of the last three h2h meetings handed in draws with both matches being played in Lens.
Under 3.5 Goals
The majority of both Lens and Lyon games were low-scoring ones that saw fewer than three goals. To illustrate, 62% of both teams’ fixtures in Ligue 1 since the start of the season produced under 3.5 goals. And the same number of goals was the outcome in eight of the last 11 meetings between Lens and Lyon.
Anytime Correct Score 1-0
Lens are a team that start their games strongly and go straight down to business. In detail, in five of their eight games in Ligue 1, Lens scored first and the same trend happened in all of their home games. On the contrary, Lyon conceded first in all three of their away league games.

Preliminary Review and Statistics for RC Lens vs Olympique Lyonnais
Lens
Lens finished seventh in the previous season and they are already proving that those results were not a coincidence. In fact, the Blood and Gold are one of three teams this season who haven’t lost any games in eight rounds. Moreover, Lens are having their best Ligue 1 campaign compared to their previous five since 2010/11.
Despite conceding more goals at home than they do while playing away (5-2) Lens’s home form has been impeccable winning all four outings with some impressive wins over Rennes. Still, Lens’s best performance so far in Ligue 1 was undoubtedly in Monaco where they beat their hosts by 4-1.
Coach Franck Haise will be very content with his team’s attack who scored 16 goals so far of which 11 in front of their fans. That is Lens’s best-attacking display across all of their five previous participations in Ligue 1 since 2010.
Lyon
After finishing eighth in the league last season, Lyon were deprived of playing in Europe for the second time in three years. That is something the Les Gones are not accustomed to as until 2019/20, they hadn’t missed a European competition since 1996.
Obviously, coach Peter Bosz is under pressure to finish top six at the end of the season, Currently, Lyon are sixth with 14 points but alarmingly they have lost their last three games and dropped from the top four. The last two trips to Lens gave Lyon a point in each game as we have to go back to 2015 to find Lyon’s last win at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Lens vs Lyon Prediction
Lens look the more solid and stable side of the two and their results speak for themselves. Lyon will be eager to avoid defeat in this match and for that we prefer a double chance of a home win or draw as our pick for this clash.
Safe Bet
The average number of corners awarded in all of Lens’ eight Ligue 1 games is 8.38 while Lyon’s is 9.63. In the last three meetings between Lens and Lyon, there were 8.69 corners per game. As a result of these stats, we predict that this game will produce under 10.5 corners that has odds of 1.53 at 22Bet.
Get Rich Quick
looking at a bit of a riskier option is the combination bet of Lens winning and over 1.5 goals at 22Bet. To explain. Lens have won all of their home games and are favorites to win and according to the stats, there is an 88% chance that we will see over 1.5 goals in this game. Hence, for our quick profit choice, we will go with this bet which has odds of 2.86.
Anytime Goalscorer
Florian Sotoca is having a great season with Lens scoring five goals in eight games and leading his team’s scoring. The 31-year-old French striker joined Lens in 2019 and has played for the team 95 times and scored 25 goals. We predict Sotoca to score anytime in Sunday’s game.
