Ok, this may not be the best odds we can get, but actually this is looking like the most logic bet (if there is any logic in this league) and I have to take this one. Lens is coming after some average performances and a scandalous loss in the French league cup final against PSG where they were actually the better team. But the referee gave a totally undeserved last minute penalty to Paris. Important forward Remy will be missing for les Sang et Or but they have some good subs that can do the job. Coach Papin said that this game is 3pts or nothing and it would be shamefull to loose at home against Metz. The guests are hopeless for the begging of the season but have been looking a bit better for a few weeks. But coach Pouliquen is worried that the team is playing too relaxed and only focused on the French cup quarters against Lyon.

Metz is too unfocused at the moment to take something for this game, if we compare squad there’s big difference in favour of lens of course. Also, Lens is more athletic especially in the midfield and this will be a big advantage since Metz is a bit undersized in this part of the field. Eric Carriere is supposed to start and this is a good thing for Lens because he is the only one can create chances for strikers as he is playing like a true playmaker.

Lens urgently needs those 3 points and with Dindane/Maloulida up front there is now reason why they would not crush Metz’s weak defence.
