Lens vs Strasbourg Prediction & Betting Tips (22 November)

The recital before the break in Monaco 1-4 says everything about Lens' form. Winner of Lorient 3-0 before this shock, the Artesian club has pocketed 5 victories in the last 6 Championship matches, which allows it to complete the podium after the first third of the season. The Sang et Or hold the co-best defense in the elite with 11 conceded in 12 days. Statistics which testify to the express adaptation of the players to the method of Pierre Sage, for whom the adventure started in the off-season begins with a bang. Strasbourg sublimated itself before the international break by beating Lille 2-0 in a top-of-the-table shock.

Promoted to 4th place, 3 points behind its opponent of the day, Racing has however had an unfortunate tendency to alternate between good and bad for several weeks. You have to go back to September to find any trace of his last series of victories in the Championship. Since the October truce, Strasbourg has certainly been able to worry PSG 3-3 and Lyon defeated 2-1 at the end of the match but also suffered a hole at the start of the month in Rennes defeated 4-1.

The Lensois group is set up without the titular defender Gradit, suspended. Pierre Sage has the choice to compensate for this loss by aligning the young Ganiou in the hinge but can also replace Udol in the center to leave the left lane for Machado. A notch higher, the Sangaré executive took part in the rally with Mali after leaving prematurely in Monaco but raises questions. It was the same for number 1 goalkeeper Risser, victim of a head impact with the France Espoirs team but ultimately fit to play. The other players of the eleven type are expected on the meadow. Among them, Edouard scored Louis-II a 5th goal in the last 6 matches and Saïd also continues to improve his statistics. They each scored 5 goals in the Championship.

 On the other side, Liam Roserio remains without goalkeeper number 2 Johnsson, midfielder Oyedele (substitute) and the usual absentees Sylla and Sow. The promising and defensive executive Doukouré must serve a 4th and final match of suspension. The truce was marked by Emegha's first call-up with the Netherlands. The striker with 4 goals in Ligue 1 then had a double against Lille. Panichelli has stolen the spotlight since his summer arrival and is at the top of the Championship scorers' charts with 9 goals.
