Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

This Ligue 1 fixture, with Lens and Lyon going head-to-head, offers real intrigue in the highly popular 2.5 goals market, with at least 3 goals predicted to be scored in total. Attackers on both sides will look to take advantage of an open match and, having studied the relevant statistics and odds, we firmly believe that a bet on over 2.5 goals is the best option.

Goal Statistics

Lyon have been awful at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 3 consecutive Ligue 1 games. This run could continue, with Lens's PG an impressive 2.0.

Goals have been a problem for Lyon of late. It has been 5 Ligue 1 games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.3 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Sunday evening against Lens.
