Analysis:
When Lens welcomes Lorient to Stade
Bollaert-Delelis on Wednesday, two unbeaten Ligue 1 clubs will square off.
Lens
The next triumph came over the weekend when
Lens made a 2-1 victory over Rennes. Lens have now gone 12 games without a loss
in Ligue 1, including last season, so they will be feeling confident going into
the midweek match. They presently tied for third place with league leaders PSG
and second-placed Marseille in terms of points.
Lorient
After being undefeated in their previous
five league games, Lorient hope to extend their own winning streak. Their first
home game of the season was against Clermont on Sunday, and a late Ibrahima
Kone penalty shot helped them draw 2-2 with Toulouse. Lorient have had a strong
start to the season, but they had only won one of their previous six away
league games.
Prediction
Despite the fact that neither team has lost
this season, I believe that Lens will defeat the visitors on Wednesday because
to the fact that they have won both of their home games. Lorient had lost all
four of their previous away games. Further, they have conceded a total of seven
goals in their previous three away games against Lens. With all of these
insights in mind, Lens are likely to provide a strong performance.
Pick: Lens -1
