Lens and Lille clash on Saturday in a highly anticipated showdown as both sides strives to maintain their unbeaten momentum.
Will Still’s side returned to winning ways with a convincing 2-0 triumph over St. Etienne, propelling to fifth in the league table.
In the same vein, they have kept their home turf unblemished so far this season, with a three-match unbeaten streak.
Meanwhile, Lille were held to a goalless draw against 10-man Monaco as they failed to break past their opponents’ defense, extending their unbeaten streak to five-games.
However, despite their decent league run, they have struggled away from home, winning only one of their previous five games across all competitions.
Jonathan David is one of the vital players that can make a difference in this sensational clash. The Lille’s talisman has four goals in his last four appearances for the club.
We believe Lille has a slight advantage in this tie due to their superior league form over Lens. Thus, we are backing them to avoid defeat on Saturday, with a win or draw looking like a strong possibility.
Previous meetings between both teams have culminated in goals from both ends, and we expect a similar outcome given their league goal-scoring records.
Jonathan David has been a driving force in attack for the visitors, scoring at a frantic pace. The Lille striker has three goals in his previous three away games and is anticipated to add to to his total in this encounter. Jonathan David to score is a strong tip worth backing.
