Prediction: 1-2
Lens
Stadium Municipal will host Tuesday’s Ligue 1 game between Toulouse and Lens, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the season finale. Les Pitchouns are brimming with confidence following the Coupe de France triumph over Nantes, but they are still seen as underdogs in the midweek clash. A man to watch in the home team will be Thijs Dallinga, who scored a brace against les Canaris, while fellow forward Rhys Healey remains in the treatment room.
The visitors, on the other hand, proved their worth in a routine 3-0 win over Monaco. Les Sang et Or are eager to book their place in the Champions League and seeing that Toulouse are safe for now, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. The opposition back-line should have Lois Openda at bay as the Belgium forward scored a brace at the weekend, while midfielder Salis Abdul Samed has yet to serve his ban.
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.
