Best Tip: Lens to win

This one only looks like going one way and, unfortunately for the hosts, that way is Lens's. We predict Sunday's visitors to Stade Oceane will have too much for their hosts, and it's a view backed up by each side's respective recent form stats, head-to-head (H2H) records and the odds from the UK's leading bookies too. They make an away win in the win / draw / win market the most likely result, and are offering a best price of 1.73.
