Sporting CPNo absentees
Lens host Sporting CP at a raucous Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Tuesday evening, kick-off 5.45pm, and our Lens vs Sporting CP predictions and betting tips sense a tight, high-quality Champions League night between two sides that won their openers.
Our Lens vs Sporting CP predictions and betting tips are below, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets and score prediction.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects an even, open contest.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Kyllian Antonio to win 2+ fouls | 11/8 (bet365) | Kyllian Antonio has won at least two fouls in every one of his four Ligue 1 appearances this season, nine in total, so opponents have consistently had to stop him illegally. Sporting arrive on the back of a 3-1 win over Galatasaray and will have plenty of the ball, which tends to leave space for Lens to break into and invite challenges. Only three bookmakers price this market so far, and bet365 have Antonio to win two or more fouls at 11/8. |
| Florian Thauvin 2+ shots on target | 10/3 (bet365) | Florian Thauvin has landed 11 shots on target in six Ligue 1 games, the second-highest total in the division, and he has hit the target at least twice in four of those six. He has three league goals as well, and Lens scored three times at Slavia Praha on matchday one, so the chances are coming. bet365’s 10/3 for two or more on target is clearly the top price, and Thauvin’s numbers make him the man to follow for the hosts. |

How Lens go into the game
Lens opened their Champions League campaign with a battling 3-2 win away at Slavia Praha, showing plenty of attacking intent.
The hosts will relish a noisy Bollaert-Delelis, where their energy and pressing can unsettle a technical Sporting side.
How Sporting CP go into the game
Sporting CP began with a 3-1 home win over Galatasaray, Luis Suarez among the goals as they made a strong start.
The visitors carry genuine quality but must handle a hostile atmosphere and a Lens side that attacks in numbers.
Lens vs Sporting CP head-to-head
The clubs have no competitive history, meeting for the first time in the league phase.
