Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Stade Bollaert-Delelis when Lens take on Lyon in Ligue 1 round six, with the hosts desperate to put an end to their four-game winless run. Lens suffered a 2-1 defeat to Monaco before the international break and have struggled for consistency at home, winning just 40% of their last 10 matches there. Thorgan Hazard is pushing for a start, while Jhoanner Chavez and Saud Abdulhamid remain in the treatment room. Lens have also failed to score in 60% of their recent home fixtures.
Lyon, on the other hand, aim to build on a convincing 4-0 victory over Rennes, with Ernest Nuamah proving his worth by scoring a brace. Les Gones have won 50% of their last 10 matches and boast a much stronger defensive record than their opponents, conceding just 0.80 goals per game. Nicolas Tagliafico and Julien Duranville remain in the recovery room, but Lyon have scored in nine of their last 10 matches. Their away form has also been solid, with a 40% win rate and just 0.80 goals conceded per game.
Given Lyon's recent signings of improvement and Lens' attacking potential at home, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 1.5 (75% H2H) and Over 2.5 goals (55%).
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Friday 9 October 2026 at 19:45.
