LENS v PARIS
Friday 29th April 2016 – Kickoff: 2000hrs
Football – France – Ligue 2 Betting Tips
With just three Ligue 2 matches of the season remaining and four points adrift of third placed Metz, tonight’s hosts Lens will be wanting to make sure of all three points when they take on bottom club Paris FC at their Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
Lens suffered a 4-2 defeat away at Nimes last weekend so they’re expected to be extra-motivated ahead of Friday night’s clash with Paris as they look to keep their bid for automatic promotion on track. However, there are no play-offs in Ligue 2 for a place in the French top flight so the pressure is on for the home side here.
Lens possess a pretty solid home record which stands at 8-7-2 20/12 and they’ve lost just once in their last 14 on home turf which also includes three wins from their last four with wins against Evian, Auxerre and Ajaccio.
Visitors Paris remain bottom of Ligue 2 following their 2-2 draw with second from bottom club Creteil last weekend which ended rather inevitably in stalemate. They now face a tough trip away to promotion-chasing Lens and their task is made that much harder as they’ve registered just one away win all season to date.
Paris possess an ordinary away record of 1-7-9 14/26 and within these stats are just three clean sheets on their travels during this Ligue 2 campaign, with more goals on the menu this evening I daresay.
In the earlier corresponding match between these two sides, Lens ran out 1-0 winners away at Paris, and tonight could be another similar scoreline and result.
Pick: Lens to win @ 1.55 bet365
