Strasbourg vs Lens – Strasbourg hosts Lens in the first game of the day in Ligue 1 on Sunday, with the two clubs meeting at Stade de la Meinau at 12 p.m.
The hosts will be seeking to extend their seven-game unbeaten streak and remain in contention for a top-three finish and a spot in the UEFA Champions League next season as the season enters its final eight rounds.
Strasbourg are presently fifth in the Ligue 1 table, four points behind Rennes in third place.
They did, however, draw four of their last five league games, including a goalless draw against relegation-threatened Lorient the previous Gameweek.
The tough defensive line is the key feature of Strasbourg’s playing style, as Julien Stephan’s team has one of the finest defensive records in the division.
Strasbourg has only allowed one goal in their last four league games. They are especially difficult to break down at home, where they have a fantastic record of 8 wins, 3 draws, and only 3 loses in 14 games so far this season.
Strasbourg vs Lens – Betting Analysis
Lens are also in the top half of the table, now four points behind Strasbourg. After a first-half comeback two weeks ago at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, they defeated Clermont 3-1.
Lens won two, tied one, and lost one of their last four league away games, and they come into this game having allowed only one goal in the previous two games.
Only one of the previous four head-to-head matches between these two teams resulted in three or more goals.
Strasbourg were also victorious in the first half of this Ligue 1 season, defeating Lens 0-1 on the road in September last year.
We wouldn’t be surprised to see a repeat of the reverse meeting between these two teams from this season’s Ligue 1, in which Strasbourg won 0-1.
Strasbourg are extremely difficult to break down these days, and we believe they have what it takes to keep their net unbroken here against Lens. At 2.10 odds, the home win is worth betting on.
