How it turned out

We projected about 3.1 goals and the game finished with 3. Both teams scored. We made Both teams to score 61%, and it landed.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.8 goals from Lens and 1.3 from Lyon, so Lens come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 3.1 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Lyon come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.8-1.3), and we make both teams to score about 60%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 61 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.47, which works out at about 68 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

✓Lens have won one of their last five.
