Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

No call on RC Lens against Olympique Lyonnais. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.
