Match description
Lens are favorites in this matchup due to superior offensive metrics and better season results: the visitors have 19 wins versus Lille’s 14 and sit 2nd compared to the home side’s 5th. Lens have scored 54 goals this season versus Lille’s 42 and have 12 goals in the last 5 matches while Lille have only 5 in that period; the visitors average 1.77 goals on the road versus 1.54 for the hosts, and over the last 5 fixtures Lens averaged 1.6 points per game against Lille’s 1.4. Lens register 4.92 shots on target per game with a conversion rate of 12% compared to Lille’s 4.54 and 10%, although xG figures are similar (1.60 for Lens away vs 1.68 for Lille at home). Lille’s home defense is marginally better (1.08 conceded per game and 31% clean sheets) versus 1.15 and 23% for Lens away, but both teams conceded 6 goals in the last 5 matches, which increases goal expectancy. Based on this I tip an away win; probabilities estimated at 20% home, 25% draw and 55% for Lens.
