Lens vs St Etienne Prediction & Betting Tips (6 April)

Lens has been working in series for several weeks but has more bad results than victories. The resumption of the championship was a failure for the RCL, beaten by Lille in the northern derby 1-0 on a blunder of his goalkeeper. It thus lacks the opportunity to confirm its revival of form seen before the international break by successes obtained in Marseille 0-1 and against Rennes 1-0. The blood and gold rank 9th 7 games from the outcome of the season, with a disbursement of 7 points on the 6th, last qualified for a European competition for the moment. However, the 7th position on which they are 6 lengths behind could be enough to compete in the dams for the conference league if PSG, crowned champion, raises the Coupe de France. ASSE is poorly embarked on the maintenance race, less than a year after finding the elite of French football.

The Greens are 17th. They are thus the first relegation team 4 points from Le Havre, a virtual barragist. They hoped that the LFP will attribute a victory on the green carpet against Montpellier, a match in which they led 0-2 on March 16 in Hérault before it was interrupted for incidents in the stands. The Forez club has not won for four months and remains on a debacle at home against PSG. Last weekend, he was corrected by the champion of France 1-6. 

Returns are hoped for in defense on the Lensois side, those of the Centrals Gradit and Bah. The first, the team manager, and his teammate landed at the club this winter gave up the derby. In their absence, Will Still launched young Antonio (17) in the deep end. Other elements will have to wait longer to make their return like Petric, Chavez, Satriano and Labeau Lascary. Ryan, who arrived in Lens on the last transfer window to compensate for the departure of Samba in the cage, was at fault only on the goal against Lille. Nzola is the best director of Lens with 6 goals in Ligue 1 but has just chained 5 games without finding the net. Compared to the reception of PSG, Eirik Horneland sees Bernauer return from suspension.

It remains to be seen if the winter recruit will remain on the bench or will be preferred to Nadé or Batubinsika in the hinge. The Ghanaian Boakye (3 goals in Ligue 1), mainly used at the bench, remains absent for the end of the season. The other Stéphanois postulate a priori all. Among them, Old and Wadji made their comeback last weekend after several months of unavailability. They came into play against PSG and should remain confined to the bench in Bollaert. Scorer 5 times on the last 4 games, Stassin is the moment of the moment for ASSE.
