Reims vs Lens Betting Tips - BTTS

Separated by just one point after 12 matches, a competitive and evenly-balanced contest seems likely when eighth-placed Reims hosts ninth-placed Lens in Ligue 1.

Both teams have struggled to find their best form over the past month and both will see this fixture as a good opportunity to pick up a positive result.

Hosts Reims come into this contest after a 1:1 draw with Lyon last weekend. Luka Elsner´s men fell to defeat in three of their last four matches with just four points collected from their last five matches. 

Inconsistent at Stade Auguste-Delaune, Reims have won just two of their last six home Ligue 1 matches (W2, D2, L2). However, they have been more consistent in the goal markets with five of six home Ligue 1 games seeing BTTS this season. 

Lens return to action this weekend in similarly poor form with defeats recorded in three of their last four Ligue 1 matches. A strange season has seen the visitors draw five successive matches before winning just two of their last five. 

Will Still´s men slipped to a 1:0 defeat at PSG in their most recent road trip, although they can usually be relied upon to score on their travels. Lens saw BTTS in seven of their last ten away matches, while they scored at least one goal in 13 previous away Ligue 1 matches this year.

Recent meetings between these sides have also produced goals at both ends on a consistent basis. Eight of the last ten meetings between these sides saw both teams net, and I expect the same outcome on Friday.
