Prediction: 2-2
Lens
Lorient and Lens go head to head at Stade du Moustoir in the Ligue 1 round 23. Les Merlus are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but they will have a big fish to fry in Sunday’s clash. Dango Ouattara is on international duty with Burkina Faso, whereas all Laurent Abergel, Samuel Loric, and Jeremy Morel are likely to miss the game with injuries. Lens, on the other hand, are eyeing a place in European competitions.
The visitors are one point behind the Conference League berth, and seeing that they are eager to climb to top five in the Ligue 1 standings, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Haidara is back from international duty, while Ganago is still at the Africa Cup of Nations. In their last meeting in the national championship the two teams played out a 2-2 draw.
Highlighted Player (Thomas Monconduit):
Thomas Monconduit is a product of Auxerre football academy. The midfielder made a great progress during his spell with the Stade de l’Abbe-Deschamps outfit and continued playing for the club at senior level. Monconduit scored three goals in 63 appearances for Auxerre II and he played 42 games for the first team from 2012 to 2014.
In 2015 he joined Amiens and you should bear in mind that the 178-cm-tall midfielder made 36 appearances for les Licornes in the 2016/2017 Ligue 2 campaign. Amiens finished the season in second place in the standings and, as a result, they secured promotion to the French top flight. Thomas Monconduit scored three goals during the season and, no doubt, he played a very important role in Christophe Pelissier’s team in the 2016/2017 season.
His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as a defensive midfielder as well. Thomas Monconduit has a contract with Amiens which expires on June 30, 2018 and his preferred foot is right. Louis DENOLLE is the player’s agent.
