Arsenal vs Lens Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 29th November 2023
The spotlight is on Arsenal and Lens when they go toe-to-toe at Emirates Stadium, for an exciting match this coming Wednesday. It is one of 16 matches in round five of the Champions League group stage, with teams fighting to secure qualification.
With the fourth round of the group stage done and dusted Arsenal rank as number one on nine points, while Lens have five points as number three.
When The Gunners take to the pitch, they are not short on goals right now, having achieved an impressive average of 2.6 goals per game. Over the course of the tournament, they tallied a total of 26 goals, while only conceding 18, an average of 1.8 goals per game. Furthermore, they achieved a clean sheet three times.
Lens are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 15 goals in the past ten outings in this tournament for an average of 1.5 a game. Their opponents scored a total of 15 goals, and while Lens claimed zero clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.5 per match times.
It is all but confirmed as Arsenal look set for a place in the second round and even a draw here would secure their place in the next round. For Lens, anything is still possible. They can take first place and they can finish last. No doubt we will see a very motivated visiting side at the Emirates.
Arsenal vs Lens Prediction
Arsenal Form
In their last three outings, Arsenal won 2-0 against Sevilla, beat Burnley by 3-1 and hammered Brentford 0-1. Arsenal claimed four wins in their last six Champions League matches at the Emirates Stadium. They came through these games with a record of one draw and one defeat, in which they conceded seven and scored 17 goals.
Lens Form
In their last three matches, Lens lost against PSV Eindhoven by 1-0, beat Marseille by 1-0 winning 0-3 against Clermont Foot. Lens didn't manage a single away win in their last six Champions League matches, but managed two draws, while suffering three defeats. They conceded ten and scored six goals themselves.
We'd be flabbergasted to see Arsenal waste away a win against Lens, who could be in for a battering, the way goals have been flowing lately.
