Analysis

Lens is coming into this match with a trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. Their attack has been consistent in those as they have scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 11 matches, but their defense has not been great as they have also allowed at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. They are going up against a Lorient side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 6 matches. Their defense has been awful in these matches as they have allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 4 as well as 6 of their last 7 matches, allowing 9 goals in their last 3 matches alone, but their attack has been better recently as they have scored 1 goal in each of their last 2 matches. When playing away from home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches. Both sides need the 3 points from this match and will be pushing to do so here. Lens is currently sitting in 6th in the table and trying to catch Nice in 5th, but they also need to fight off Marseille and Lyon who are both right on their tail just 2 points behind. Lorient has been in awful form recently so this is a match that Lens should smash them at home in, scoring at least 3 goals themselves, but Lorient also needs to win this match and will have no choice but to push their attack for goals. Lorient is currently sitting in the relegation zone but they are only 3 points behind the 1st team in safety. With only 3 matches left in the season, Lorient has to get some points from this match and they will have to push for goals, especially if they fall behind. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals. France Ligue 1: Lens/Lorient over 2.5 goals, Rot. 203321
