Prediction: 2-2
Lens
Strasbourg and Lens square off against each other at Stade de la Meinau in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. Le Racing are enjoying a very successful season, with the team sitting in 5th place in the standings ahead of the visit of Lens. Strasbourg are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and we are positive that they will find the net on Matchday 30.
Lucas Perrin is banned for the hosts, while all Adrien Thomasson, Ismael Doukoure, and Maxime Le Marchand remain in the recovery room. Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Clermont. Given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Both Kevin Danso and Florian Sotoca miss the game through suspension, while Corentin Jean is sidelined with a knee problem.
Highlighted Player (Frédéric Guilbert):
Despite his modest height for a centre-back, Frederic Guilbert is a remarkably strong in aerial duels. Former France U21 international is a player of great positional awareness and tactical discipline who makes immense defensive contribution for his team.
A versatile defender who can play in various positions across the backline, Guilbert can also be deployed as a right midfielder where his speed and agility come to play. Born in Valognes, Frederic Guilbert spent all of his career playing in France although he has thus far failed to spend more than two seasons at a single club. Spells at Caen, AS Cherbourg, Bordeaux were insufficient for Guilbert to secure regular playing time and prove his worth, which he hopes would change at Caen.
Guilbert joined the Stade Michel d’Ornano based club on a permanent deal in 2017, after a season-long loan spell away from Bordeaux. He went on to play 42 matches across all competitions in his second season with Caen and has done well to announce himself as an important player for the French side.
Highlighted Team (Lens):
Based in the Pas-De-Calais department, Lens is a French club that plays home games at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The Sang et Or are well known for their red shirts with yellow stripes, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
The club was founded back in 1906 and the Sang et Or originally played in green and black shirts. Speaking of their home ground, Stade Bollaert-Delelis can hold up to 38,058 spectators. The venue was opened back in 1933, and renovated during the 2014/15 season. Lens did well to win the Ligue 1 trophy in the 1997/98 season, with the team finishing the process level on points with second-place Metz.
As a result, the Sang et Or represented France in the Champions League group stages the following season. The club’s biggest European success came in the 1999/00 season when they made it to the UEFA Cup semis. Lens have won two Coupe de la Ligue trophies as well.
