Lille vs Lens: prediction & betting odds 31 Mar 2025

The Matchday 27 clash in Ligue 1 between Lille and Lens will take place on March 30 at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium in Villeneuve-d'Ascq. Lille vs. Lens: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Lille

The club extended their uncompromising streak to 9 matches in Ligue 1 (5 wins, 4 losses) after a 0-1 defeat to Nantes in the previous round. As a result of this loss, Lille dropped one position in the French championship standings to 6th place. However, they are only 3 points away from the Champions League zone. Notably, Bruno Genesio's side has a solid defense this season, conceding 28 goals, second only to the tournament leader PSG (25). It's also important to mention that Lille performs significantly better at home in the current championship, earning 27 points compared to 17 away.

  • No more than 3 goals have been scored in 10 of the club's last 12 Ligue 1 matches.
  • The team has won 6 of their last 8 home games in this tournament.
  • Both teams have scored in 10 of Lille's last 12 home matches in the championship.

Predicted lineup for Lille (4-5-1)

Lucas Chevalier – Gabriel Gudmundsson, Alessandro, Bafode Diakite, Aissa Mandi – Andre Gomes, Benjamin Andre, Osame Sahraoui, Hakon Haraldsson, Mitchel Bakker – Jonathan David.

Defender Alessandro will not play due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Lens

The team won their last two matches in the French championship with the same score of 1-0, defeating Marseille and Rennes. Before that, Lens lost four consecutive matches in the elite French league. Thanks to 6 points earned in the last two championship games, the club rose to 8th place in the standings, reducing the gap to the European competition zone to 5 points. The team, like their upcoming opponent, has a strong defense in the current Ligue 1 season, conceding only one more goal, with Lens having 29 goals against.

  • The club's uncompromising streak in the elite French division stands at 11 matches (5 wins, 6 losses).
  • At least one opponent failed to score in 6 of Lens's last 8 championship matches.
  • The team has not lost away in 11 of their last 14 Ligue 1 matches, achieving 6 wins.

Predicted lineup for Lens (3-4-3)

Mathew Ryan – Jonathan Gradit, Jimmy Cabot, Facundo Medina – Ruben Aguilar, Nampalys Mendy, Neil El Aynaoui, Deiver Machado – Florian Sotoca, Wesley Said, Jeremy Agbonifo.

Lille vs. Lens: Match Prediction

Bruno Genesio's team suffered a disappointing defeat in their last league match before the international break, conceding late against Nantes. Lille had the upper hand during that game and at least deserved to earn points. However, the away defeat cannot be considered unexpected. Lille traditionally struggles on the road, but they play excellently at home, which is confirmed this season, remaining unbeaten in 11 of 13 Ligue 1 matches (8 wins, 3 draws).

In the first round, Lille managed to defeat their upcoming opponent even away, winning confidently (2-0). Moreover, the club has not lost to Lens in the last 5 head-to-head matches in the French championship (3 wins, 2 draws), scoring in all of these encounters. Lille is unlikely to lose two consecutive Ligue 1 matches, something that hasn't happened since September 21 last year. Furthermore, Lens does not excel in away matches. They lost 2 of their last 3 away games in the championship, including a defeat to the modest Nantes (1-3).

I am confident that the hosts will not lose to this convenient opponent. I also do not expect a high-scoring game, as both teams' defenses rank among the top three in the current Ligue 1 season. In the last 8 head-to-head meetings in the championship, no more than 3 goals were scored. Therefore, my prediction: 1X + Total under 3.5 goals
