THE GAME
Blood and Gold have mind! They proved it, once again, by their victory against Clermont Monday night at Bollaert (3-1). The Lensois quickly recovered and inflicted a severe correction in the Clermontes thanks to Fortuné, Zoubir and Autret. Nevertheless, Alain Casanova has pointed out a recurring problem among his players: the lack of realism and lucidity in the last 20 meters, indeed, even if they get a lot of opportunities, their shoot-out ratio is far too low since The beginning of the season ...Is this the right time to resolve this problem in the face of an Orlean team that is struggling to maintain it?

THE BETS OF OUR EXPERTS
The men of Alain Casanova are determined to go up, and they can do it! With many assets on the Lens side, it's a safe bet that Jeremy Grimm's team-mates are quickly overwhelmed in their own stadium at the Stade de la Source. But attention, Didier Olle-Nicolle's men were on a series of 3 consecutive victories before being stopped by Strasbourg. From then on, the balance tilts in favor of the club Nordiste, but it is better to cover the tie that can quickly arrive with teams that lack, sometimes, lucidity.

-Le Coup de Folie: Lens of 1 goal exactly, to 3.60 at Winamax.
