Lens vs Olympique Lyonnais Prediction

RC Lens vs Olympique Lyonnais Betting Tips

Mathematically, Lyon remains very much in the Ligue 1 title race this season. In fact, they have the best chance to move from the third spot to a second spot this weekend as the top two sides play each other on the same day. But it wouldn’t be a walkover as they take an away trip to Lens for their next game this Saturday. Lens has been the surprise package of the Ligue 1 this season as they sit in the Europa League spot with a healthy 3 point lead over Marseille.

A ‘Lyon Win’ might be a great shout as the visitors have beaten Lens every time since they have been promoted from the Ligue 2. The incentive of moving ahead of PSG or Lille is a bonus too. But our best bet for the game is surely ‘Over 2.5 goals’ being scored in this one. 5 of the last 7 meetings have ended up in a goal fest, and with two top-five teams contending for 3 points, there shouldn’t be a shortage of goals for sure.
