Lens vs Clermont Prediction: Lens looking to maintain their good form against mid-table Clermont

Lens will host Clermont Foot at the Estadio Bollaert-Delelis in their final Ligue 1 game before the 2022 FIFA World Cup break next week.

Lens have been one of the most improved clubs in Ligue 1 this season, and Franck Haise appears to be doing everything right.

Lens are currently on 4 match winning streak after 2-1 win over Angers. They have a five-point advantage over Rennes for second place and a guaranteed spot in the Champions League group stage the following year.

Lens and league-leading Paris Saint-Germain are equal for the fewest goals allowed with over a third of their domestic games completed (nine).

Clermont could only manage one goal for the fourth time in a row last weekend, earning a single point. Last Sunday, they had several chances to beat Montpellier, but they missed two penalty attempts and find themselves 10th in the table.

Four of their five Ligue 1 triumphs this season have come when they had more than one goal, showing how well things normally go for Pascal Gastien's team when they can score many goals.

They haven't lost away from home since the end of August, conceding one goal or fewer against Strasbourg, Ajaccio, Monaco, and Nantes.

Samba; Medina, Danso, Gradit; Machado, Onana, Fofana, Frankowski; Costa, Sotoca; Openda.

Diaw; Ogier, Wieteska, Seidu; Bela, Gastien, Magnin, Diallo; Khaoui; Andric, Allevinah.

Lens is the overwhelming favourite to win this match because they have a perfect home record this year and have kept a clean sheet in their last four home games. They are unbeaten in their last eight games against Les Lanciers in all competitions, so a defeat appears unlikely.
