Lille v RC Lens
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.
Lille v RC Lens is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.
Preview
Lille will struggle to find a winner in a local derby that looks destined for a low score. The home side have won only two of their last six, struggling to convert football into results. They are now missing a big chunk of their goals, which makes their task harder. Without Ayase Ueda, who has three goals in the last five games, they lose the player most likely to turn possession into a lead. Lens have three wins from their last six, yet they also lack punch. Missing Abdallah Sima and Odsonne Édouard robs them of three and two goals respectively. Both teams will struggle to create clear openings. The game will be cagey with few risks taken. Clinical finishing usually wins these, but both sides have left theirs in the infirmary.
Form
- Lille have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six.
