Clermont vs Lens: The visitors look the better side

We will tell you in what conditions the opponents are approaching the match and advise some great betting options.

Clermont are simply terrible lately. Five defeats in the last five rounds, with a total score of 4:9. How is this team going to perform in their upcoming match against a top-5 club? A sixth loss in a row? Probably yes. At the moment, Clermont are leading the relegation zone with 13 points. Their last away game was a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Reims.

Lens surprised us very pleasantly with their play at the beginning of the Ligue 1 season. At the end of 15 rounds, the club scored 25 points, which puts them in the top 5, and the difference between it and sixth-placed Angers is three points. Lens cannot lose points in this match against one of the weakest clubs in the league, and that’s why we will see an open and attacking football from them. On Matchday 15, the club managed to earn one point when they drew with Angers (2-2).

I wonder why the bookmakers gave such big odds on the favourite’s victory, as the difference in class is enormous. While Clermont are struggling to survive, Lens are fighting for European titles. The former team has almost no chance of winning. We suggest you don’t make things up and take the visitors’ victory with a zero handicap.
