Lyon vs Lens Preview and Team News
Lyon Team News
The race for a spot in next season’s Champions League looks set to go down to the wire in Ligue 1 this season, and Lyon could yet have a part to play. Lyon sits fifth in the standings, and they are just two points off the top three spots after winning three of their last four matches.
Lyon have been incredibly efficient in home matches this season, winning 67% of their fixtures at Groupama Stadium. They have also scored an average of 2.27 goals per game from an xG of 1.72. However, they have been defensively vulnerable after allowing 1.27 from a metric of 1.54.
Alexandre Lacazette is unavailable for the home side this weekend due to suspension. Meanwhile, both Ernest Nuamah and Orel Managala are unavailable due to serious knee injuries.
Lyon predicted lineup vs Lens
Lyon predicted lineup vs Lens (4-2-3-1): Perri; Maitland-Niles, Mata, Niakhate, Tagliafico; Matic, Tolisso; Cherki, Almada, Fofana; Mikautadze.
Lens Team News
Lens suffered a heavy 4-0 loss at the hands of Auxerre last weekend, which leaves their European dreams hanging by a thread. The visitors this weekend will need a victory to stand any chance of a top-six finish, but they have been inconsistent after losing three of their last five.
Despite that recent heavy defeat, their defensive record this season has been relatively strong after allowing an average of a goal a game from an xGA of 1.44. However, they have issues in the final third on the road after scoring an average of just 1.33 per 90 from a metric of 1.43.
Facundo Medina returns from suspension this weekend, but Florian Sotoca remains banned. Denis Petrić could return between the sticks from a back injury, but Jhoanner Chávez and Remy Lascary may not feature again this season.

Bet hereLyon vs Lens Prediction
- Pick: Lyon to win
- Odds: 1.62 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Lyon 2-0 Lens
The head-to-head record favours Lens this weekend, as they have gone three without a defeat against Lyon. However, the record of the hosts in their home fixtures is hard to ignore when making a Lyon vs Lens prediction.
The home team have won an impressive 67% of their matches at Groupama Stadium this season, while Lens have suffered defeats in 27% of their matches on the road. Despite being without their top scorer, we expect Lyon to enhance their claims for a European finish with a success on home soil.
Lyon vs Lens Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 8.5 Corners
- Odds: 1.54 (22Bet)
A high-scoring affair in terms of corners should be expected this weekend. Only PSG have averaged more than Lens’ 5.74 per 90 this season, and they have had over 8.5 corners in 61% of their matches. Meanwhile, Lyon averages 5.32 per fixture in France. Therefore, over 8.5 corners makes a lot of appeal.
Alternatively, it could be worth siding with both teams not scoring on Sunday. Both teams have found the net in just one of the last three Ligue 1 encounters between these sides.
