Lens vs Reims Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Lens v Reims
France Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, November 8, 2024
Starts at 14pm UK / 00pm CET
Venue: Stade Bollaert Delelis (Lens).

Four games without a defeat ended for Lens in the last game, when they lost 4-0 to Lille. The club has not played in the league since 18 October as many of its players are down with the Coronavirus and their scheduled games had to be postponed.

Although the club should have rested a little, they will also be quite rusty from this match on, but they still have 2 games in their hands from other teams above them. In theory, they can take second place if they win their extra games, so there's plenty to play for.

At home is where Lens has accumulated its points and has a 100% record here with victories over Saint Etienne, Bordeaux and PSG at the start of the season.

Reims started badly but there are signs that the club could be turning a corner. The team climbed to 15th place after winning consecutive games against Montpellier and Strasbourg, and the club arrives with some confidence.

In fact, Reims have taken more away points than they have at home and have gone undefeated in their last two games, going to Rennes, who have been impressive this season and managed a 2-2 draw.

Lens vs Reims: head to head

• The last time the clubs played here, the match ended 1-1.

Lens vs Reims: prediction

There isn't much between the sides and it will be interesting to see Lens come back after no games in recent weeks.

The last defeat against Lille shouldn't be seen as the end of the world, Lille are just on a different level and before that Lens played good football.

Reims are back in form, but can the club really win three games in a row? Many experts don't believe they can, we're tempted to go for the toss, but full-time can be risky, so we'll go for this method during the break.

Lens vs Reims betting tips:

• Halftime Score: Tie at 2,00 (1/1)
