Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

In a contest that could see chances come thick and fast this weekend, Lens and Lyon will mark their return to action when they face off on Saturday night.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what was an eye-catching run of form when heading into the international break, Lens have shocked many across France this year. In their 30 Ligue 1 contests so far this season, they have recorded 13 wins, nine draws and eight defeats, scoring 46 and conceding 42 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 48, the top-flight returners mark their return to action sat fifth in the table and cruising towards a top-half finish. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 victory away at Strasbourg, Lens are unbeaten in each of their last nine Ligue 1 contests on the spin, bagging themselves over 1.5 goals in all bar two of those fixtures. It should also be noted, Saturday’s hosts have seen each of their last six straight matchups finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, although Lyon might find themselves still sat in pole position to secure a European finish this year, they were showing some inconsistencies when heading into the international break. In their 30 Ligue 1 contests so far this season, they have recorded 17 wins, nine draws and just four defeats, scoring 59 and conceding 30 in return. Collecting themselves a points tally of 60, they mark their return to action this weekend sat third in the table and three points adrift of leaders PSG. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen heading into March’s international fixtures with a 4-2 defeat against the defending champions, Lyon have won just a pair of their last six Ligue 1 matchups. It should be highlighted, with five of their last six top-flight contests finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar high-scoring outcome this weekend.
