Strasbourg vs Lens Prediction

Strasbourg will come into this game full of confidence following their shock 1-0 win over Marseille, and with home advantage, will be hopeful of securing another victory.

However, they may find things hard going against Lens. Will Still's side haven't been the most thrilling to watch thus far, but their record shows they are remarkably hard to beat and hard to score against, too.

Given that both sides are evenly matched, it's hard to pick a winner here, especially as Lens haven't won since August. Therefore, a draw is the prediction.

Prediction: Strasbourg 1-1 Lens
