Lens vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting Tips (3 October)

That's it ! It's the great return of the Champions League to Bollaert, to the delight of Lensois supporters. However, it is clear that the start of the Sang et Or season is not what we dreamed of. Indeed, the RCL remained on four losses and 1 draw in the league before restoring its image during the first day of the Champions League against Sevilla FC 1-1.

A meeting that the Lensois almost should have won and which served as a trigger for them. On their momentum, they then found success twice in Ligue 1: against Toulouse at home thanks in particular to a goal from Guilavogui in the 84th minute 2-1 and last weekend against Strasbourg by seeking a difficult success but very valuable 0-1 which allowed him to temporarily leave the relegation zone.

A priori, the Pas-de-Calais players will have to deal with goalkeeper Farinez (injured for a long time), winger Cabot (return) and Portuguese midfielder Pereira Da Costa (rotation). In addition, defender Haidara was absent from the group against TFC and he is highly doubtful for this poster. For the rest, the group will a priori be complete with in particular the presence of attackers like Guilavogui (scorer against TFC in Ligue 1), Saïd (5 goals last season at the club) or even the rookie who has finally registered his first goal in his new colors Friday evening, Wahi (ex-Montpellier). Frankowski (5 pawns, 3 assists in L1 last year), Sotoca (7 goals, 9 goals in L1 last year) or the author of the sumptuous free kick in the draw against Sevilla, Fulgini, will be the part. Arriving this summer from Ajax, Justin Timber has become a crusader and will not return to the field before next March.

In addition to this, midfielder Thomas Partey is also out while Belgian Trossard and striker Gabriel Martinelli are doubtful after missing last weekend's match. This is also the case for the excellent Saka who came off injured at the end of the match. For the rest, we find world-class players such as Gabriel Jesus (returned from a serious injury) and captain Martin Odegaard (Norwegian international), all scorers on the first day against PSV. Note the probable tenure of Declan Rice (ex-West Ham) who is doing a lot of good in the London midfield.
