Lorient vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips - French Cup
by Daniel Ngulu in French Cup Predictions
Lorient will be at home to take on Lens in the Round of 16 of the French Cup, the two sides looking to bounce back from unsatisfactory outings. Hosts Lorient are coming from a 0-0 draw with Angers at home and in their second straight home game the target is to advance to the quarters. They have no wins in the last two matches. The 2-1 victory over Rennes in Ligue 1 was Lorient’s only win inside 90 minutes in their last six matches. They beat Bastia in the last round of this competition but that was on post match penalties after a 1-1 draw. The recent result against Angers marked their second clean sheet in 13 matches and both teams have scored in five of their last six games. In their last seven home matches, Lorient have managed just one win – three have ended in defeats and three in draws.
Lens are coming into this game with their form having dipped in the recent matches. They haven't won in the last three games after eliminating Brest from the French Cup. In their latest game, they met Brest but could only play to a 1-1 draw in Ligue 1. They actually needed a late equalizer from Jonathan Gradit to level the scores, and avoid a second straight loss. Lens have managed just one clean sheet in their last six matches but they take to this game a much stronger run compared to Lorient. They have one loss only in the last 14 matches, and they have won nine in that run. Lens are unbeaten in the last eight home matches but coming into this one, they have four draws in the last six.
