Lille - Lens predictions and free betting tips [29/03/2024]

Good day, dear readers and comrades! I want to tell you about the 27th round of the French Ligue 1. Today at the "Pierre-Mauroy" football field, "Lille" will host "Lens" at their home ground. Let's see what we can expect from the teams and make a bet that will help increase our bank. Let's dig in!

Potential lineups

"Lille": Chevalier; Santos, Diakite, Yoro, Ismaily; Bentaleb, Andre, Gomes; Zhegrova, David, Haraldsson.
"Lens": Samba; Medina, Danso, Haidara; Aguilar, El Aynaoui, Mendy, Frankowski; Thomasson; Sotoca, Wahi.

"Lille"

Last season, "Lille" closed the top five strongest teams. Currently, the club is in 4th place in the league table, with 43 points to their account. Out of 26 games in the French Championship, the team won 11 times, played a draw 10 times, and faced 5 defeats. The statistics of goals scored and conceded is 37 against 23.

In the UEFA Conference League, the guys made it to the quarterfinals, scoring 3 unanswered goals against "Sturm" in the first game, and finished the second one with a draw (1:1). In the last round of the French Championship, they shared points with "Brest", scoring and conceding 1 goal each. 

"Lens"

Last season, "Lens" were the finalists of the league, lagging behind "PSG" by only 1 point. I also want to highlight their attacking performance last season: the club scored 68 goals, which was the best result in the higher division of the French league in the team's history.

Now the team is based in 6th place, having 42 points to their account. Out of 26 games, they won 12 times, scored 35 goals, and conceded 27 goals. In the last round of Ligue 1, they suffered a defeat at home to "Nice" with a score of (1:3). 

Head-to-Head

In the last head-to-head meeting, which took place on 8th October last year, the teams played to a draw with a score of (1:1).

Prediction

So, let's summarize our breakdown. The game after the break will hardly be spectacular. Also, considering the last 2 head-to-head games of the teams ended with a draw, I would place a bet for a draw. "Lille" has not lost at home for a long time, and "Lens" shows a worthy fight away. I don't think we'll see a winner in this meeting.

Total Prediction

I expect both teams to put up a goal-scoring performance, so I would place a bet for a total of over 2.5 goals. Good luck and enjoy the game, dear friends!
