Olympique Lyonnais Lens betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be a few goals. It's expected to be a slightly controlled match for the home side, but Lens, as well as having some arguments to threaten their opponents, still need to react to the moment they're going through. That said, and taking these factors into account, taking a chance on the “Over 3 Goals” market in this game is a good option.

Preview
Lyon and Lens face at Groupama OL Academy Décines‑Charpieu, in a match for the 32th round of the Ligue 1. In the last head‑to‑head for this edition of the league, played on 15‑09‑2024, these teams have tied (0‑0). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the last 4 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 03‑03‑2024, in a match for the Ligue 1, Lens won by (0‑3). The goals of the match were scored by Elye Wahi (53' ), Florian Sotoca (43' ) and Kevin Danso (87' ) for Lens. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Lyon

The home team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 54 points won, after 16 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Saint‑Étienne, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Rennes, by (4‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 29 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Lyon has a record of 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they have won 25 points out of 30 possible. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 12 of their 31 matches for this competition, but have been able to turn the score around in 4.

Olympique Lyon go into this match on the back of a 4-1 win over Rennes: the team's goals were scored by Malick Fofana, Corentin Tolisso, Alexandre Lacazette and Georges Mikautadze. The home side usually play in a 4-3-3 formation, favoring quick transitions, attacking preferably through the side corridors. The three most advanced players will be Rayan Cherki, Malick Fofana and Alexandre Lacazette. Whenever possible, the team tends to direct their attacks down the right flank, taking advantage of Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who creates width and offensive options in attack. Ernest Nuamah is out of the game through injury.
 

Confirmed Lineup: Lucas Perri, Clinton Mata, Nicolás Tagliafico, Moussa Niakhaté, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Nemanja Matic, Corentin Tolisso, Thiago Almada, Malick Fofana, Georges Mikautadze, Rayan Cherki .
Coach: P. Rodrigues Fonseca.

Analysis Lens

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 45 points won, after 13 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Brest, by (1‑3). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Auxerre, by (0‑4). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Lens has a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 16 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 10 of the last 15 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 31 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Lens go into this match unmotivated after a 0-4 defeat at Auxerre. The visiting team tends to play a 3-4-3 tactical formation, opting for a slower, more structured style of play. Andy Diouf, Goduine Koyalipou and Anass Zaroury are the main references in the attacking sector, while the build-up play tends to favor the right side, exploiting the depth and dynamism of full-back Ruben Aguilar. Out for this game are Adrien Thomasson and Florian Sotoca, who are out injured, as well as Denis Petric and Rémy Labeau Lascary, who are both out with fitness problems.
 

Confirmed Lineup: Mathew Ryan, Jonathan Gradit, Juma Bah, Facundo Medina, Deiver Machado, Tom Pouilly, Neil El Aynaoui, Andy Diouf, Nampalys Mendy, Adrien Thomasson, Goduine Koyalipou.
Coach: P. Sage.
