Lens have taken 8 points from their last five; Lorient have taken four points from their last four. Form gives little away going into this Ligue 1 tie.
The gap in chance quality is clear: Lens come out at +0.8 a game (chances they create minus chances they give up) compared to +0.0. that's a real edge in the quality of chances.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Lens create chances worth 2.1 a game (and give up chances worth 1.3), leaving them +0.8 a game on the balance. Lorient create 1.3 (giving up 1.3) for a balance of 0.0. The underlying numbers clearly favour Lens. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Lens are scoring 1.8 a game (1.8 of those at home) and Lorient manage 2.0 (2.0 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 50%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Both teams scoring is unlikely here (29%).
Both teams score in 41% of Lens's home games and 35% of Lorient's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Lens are all-out attack: 1.8 goals a game, but they leak 1.2 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Lorient, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Lorient have goals in them (2.0 per game) but their record at the back (1.8 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
Most likely scorelines: 1-1 (10%) and 2-1 (9%).
