General match analysis
Lille sit 2nd in the table and are unbeaten at home, recording 2 wins and 2 draws, while Lens have won just 1 of their 4 away matches. The hosts concede an average of 0.75 goals at home and keep a clean sheet in 50% of their matches; the visitors concede 1.75 goals per game away and have yet to keep a clean sheet. Lens do, however, have attacking credentials: they average 1.75 goals away from home with an xG of 1.54, compared with Lille’s 1.5 goals and xG of 1.32 at home. Recent form also favours the visitors, who have won 3 of their last 5 matches, while Lille have won just 1 and conceded 9 goals over that period. Despite this, Lille’s stronger results and defensive record at home give the hosts a slight edge, although a draw remains a realistic outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
BTTS landed in 75% of Lille’s home matches and 100% of Lens’s away matches, although both figures are based on small samples. Both teams have conceded in every match under these conditions, averaging 1.25 and 1.75 goals conceded respectively, which supports the prospect of goals at both ends. Lille average 2.25 goals scored at home with an xG of 1.65, while Lens score 1.75 goals per away match with an xG of 1.54. Their last 5 matches call for caution: both teams recorded BTTS in 60% of them, and Lille averaged just 1.0 goal scored. Even so, both sides have recently conceded an average of 1.8 and 1.6 goals respectively, making it more likely that each team will find the net.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Lille matches average 3.50 goals, and Lens matches also average 3.50, pointing to a game with at least two goals. The Over 1.5 goals line has landed in 75% of Lille’s matches and 100% of Lens’s. Their attacking potential is backed by xG figures of 1.65 for Lille and 1.54 for Lens, although Lille have scored only 1.0 goal per game across their last five matches. Therefore, Over 1.5 is a stronger pick than the higher lines, retaining its edge despite the hosts’ recent dip in finishing.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest signal is Lille leading at the break and holding onto that advantage: the hosts were ahead after 45 minutes in 2 of 4 home matches, while Lens were trailing at half-time in 2 of 4 away fixtures. Lille conceded an average of just 0.25 goals in first halves at home, compared with 1.0 for Lens away, which favors an early lead for the hosts. Lille’s prospects of winning also draw support from their 3 wins in 4 home matches, compared with Lens’ 1 win in 4 away fixtures, and from Lille averaging 2.25 goals scored at home against Lens conceding 1.75 goals per away match. However, this is not a certain pick: Lille have won only once in their last 5 matches, while Lens have won 3 times, so the scenario of the visitors leading at the break also carries a significant probability.
