Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Marseille and Lens supporters should get a chance to celebrate as their sides go head-to-head, with KickOff's prediction of both teams to score looking a far more convincing pick than any bet on the outright winner. The two sides have goals in them, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookmakers odds are not finding real separation between the sides, as striking power and defensive options suggest each team is capable of both scoring and conceding. Both teams to score is our top tip.
