We're taking Lens to win outright at home on Saturday against Metz in French Ligue 1.
Rapid Breakdown
After a disastrous start to the season for last year's runners-up Lens, who currently sit 2nd from bottom in the table overall, the international break couldn't have come at a better time for the home side as they look to get back on track against a struggling Metz side this weekend.
The one bright spot for Lens is that they've faced a really tough schedule so far to start the season, taking on Rennes, PSG, and Monaco all in quick succession over recent weeks. With two weeks off to prepare for this game against a far inferior Metz side, we're expecting a best effort from Lens in this one.
Metz currently own Ligue 1's worst defensive xGA rating away from home this season, and lost heavily 4-1 the last time they visited the Stade Bollaert-Delelis also.
Take Lens to win outright at home on Saturday against Metz over in French Ligue 1.
