A 2-2 in the first leg means both sides will look to get all points in this game. Interestingly, these teams drew against each other in the last four meetings during which two games ended 2-2 and the other two 1-1. Our free predictions for this game are as follows:
Lens to open the lead 1/2 (1.50)
Lens is our pick to go ahead in this game anytime. While a total of 11 draws were realized in the last twenty meetings, this could be a difficult game given that both teams are currently having their own ambitions. Then hosts lost twice in the last six games while Clermont lost thrice in as many previous matches. The visitors come to this game with back to back defeats during which they leaked six and failed to score. The poor scoring record is why we feel Lens will find the net first.
Lens to win @ 13/20 (1.65)
After four meetings without a win, we expect a win in this game. Lens is our favourite outfit to bag the three points. Clermont has lost 8 away games, won four and drawn twice. The away record for the visitors doesn’t look encouraging. On the other hand, Lens has six wins, five draws and three loses at home so far. Backing the hosts to win based on these stats makes sense.

Lens vs Clermont Preview, News and Lineups
Lens and Clermont have drawn four times in the last four encounters. The last Ligue 1 encounter ended 2-2 and before that, these teams drew 1-1 in Ligue 2. There were three encounters in 2019, two of which ended 1-1 while the other one was won by Lens in a game that ended 1-0.
The fact that lots of draws have been recorded in this game, more than wins of both teams combined means the fixture has always been hard-fought. And while such an outcome is possible in this game, lack of firepower in Clermont’s attacking formation is a big worry for the visitors in this trip to Lens.
At the coaching level, the managers of these teams share a draw between themselves in the only previous matchup. Clermont is fighting for survival points while Lens is looking to get a playoff spot in top five. With these take into consideration, we expect few goals to be scored in this Ligue 1 game.
