Lens vs Metz betting tips 30 September Ligue 2 Neuro

Lens vs Metz betting tips 30 September Ligue 2: "Lens suffered their second defeat in the season as they went to Tours and finally lost the game with more than fair 3:1 result. Hosts took advantage of the home factor, but also played really good football and exploited all the weaknesses from their visitors in the best possible manner. On the other side, Lens showed for the third consecutive time instability in their defense and were fairly defeated."

After impressive start into the new season, Lens started with less impressive performances and didn’t get a single victory in last three matches, to be more precise, they have taken only one point out of possible nine. Six goals conceded in a game against Le Havre surely affected their morale and the team couldn’t bounce back in next two games, draw at home against Creteil and defeat away to Tours. However, coach admitted that their start of the season was great and it would be unrealistic to expect them to continue at the same rate, since the team isn’t ready to stand from the other teams in the league with such difference. One of the more positive things remains that they managed to score in every game they played till now.

Home side will miss young striker Bela (1/1) and defender Toure, who is still without participation this season. Both of them aren’t important players in starting eleven and it could be said that they have no significant problem in front of this game.


Metz, on the other side, is coming from a 3:0 easy victory over Nancy in a game that was supposed to be a derby. They were much better, while the visitors showed much less than expected and the hosts were able to get into the lead already after six minutes, while they secured the victory with two more goals in last five minutes of the game.

With this victory they improved the record in Ligue 2 to four victories, three draws and a defeat, while the atmosphere in the locker room remains excellent after a good start in the new season. They are on a streak of five consecutive matches without defeat and many of them have started to dream about promotion at the end of the season. The coach has stated that although the target is promotion, their road is long and very difficult and is only happy to see his players combining great football with positive results for now. Visitors also have no problem making the squad for this game, as their two absentees anyway still didn’t participate in the new season having long term injuries.

Lens have seen under 2.5 goals in ten of their last twelve matches against Metz.
Lens are undefeated in their last six home matches in Ligue 2.
Both teams have started the season much better than expected and both of them have quality and ability to score in every game, making both to score bet the most logical choice in a game that should be more open than the average Ligue 2 game.

Bet: Both teams to score
