Latest news
Lens
🏆 Lens have set a Ligue 1 record for the most shots in a single match over the last 20 years. In their Round 30 clash of the French Championship, Lens faced Toulouse (3-2) and took an astounding 42 shots (13 on target) at the opponent's goal. According to Opta Sport, this is a record for the competition since the 2006/2007 season when the statistics portal began collecting data.
❌ Lens are dealing with minor squad issues due to injuries, but they are not deemed critical. Jonathan Gradit, Regis Gurtner, Kylian Antonio, and Nidal Celik remain sidelined as they continue their recovery and won't be available soon. On a positive note, Austrian defender Samson Baidoo has returned from a muscle injury. Ruben Aguilar is also back in action after recovering from a calf injury.
Toulouse
❌ Toulouse will be without Mark McKenzie due to suspension-he received a straight red card and was sent off in the match against Lille. Alex Dominguez, Frank Magri, and Rafik Messali are sidelined with injuries. These players have been out for a while and are not part of the first team, so the coaching staff likely wasn't counting on them.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
This season, the average yellow card stats are as follows: Lens average 2.1 per game, while Toulouse average 2.2. Both teams frequently see bookings this season, and their recent encounter featured a sending-off and three yellow cards. Thus, we suggest betting on over 3.5 total yellow cards.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Lens have an individual goal average of 2.1 per match this season, while Toulouse's average is significantly lower at 1.4. However, games involving these teams tend to be high-scoring affairs: Lens's matches average 3.1 goals, and Toulouse's 2.7. Considering this data and the outcome of their last encounter, we recommend a bet on over 2.5 total goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In their previous matches this season, Lens have averaged 6 corners per game, while Toulouse have averaged 4.7. Playing at home, Pierre Sage's side are expected to dominate and attack, leading to a high number of corners. Therefore, we suggest a bet on Lens to win the corner count.
