Best Tip: Lens to win

A Ligue 1 victory in front of their own fans for Pierre Sage's Lens side win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest they have what it takes, and they should be too strong for their visitors. The odds from the bookmakers suggest so too, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A Lens win is the bet we'd suggest, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
