Lens vs Como Predictions & Betting Tips - Como Chasing Third Win in the Champions League
Lens host Como in Ligue 1, with Como seeking a sixth consecutive victory after five straight wins. Despite Como’s strong form and recent 1-0 win over Venezia, Lens are solid at home, having won four of their last six home matches. Both teams have notable injuries, with Lens missing several players and Como lacking attacking options. The match is expected to be close, and a draw is tipped, reflecting Lens’ home strength and Como’s current momentum.
- Lens have lost 2 straight in the Champions League
- Como are aiming for 6 consecutive wins
- I am expecting a close clash in northern France
Lens have lost their previous two matches in the Champions League but had some bad luck in both defeats.
Como have few options in attack, and Lens will probably be content with a point against the high flying Italian club.
Stats
- Lens have won 4 of their last 6 home matches.
- Como have won their last 5 matches.
HTH
This will be the first match between Lens and Como.
Lens Inconsistent
Lens have had a turbulent season after Dino Toppmöller was sacked in September and replaced by Yannick Cahuzac.
The French club have lost both Champions League matches under the new manager. An unlucky 2-0 defeat at home to Sporting CP was followed by a 3-0 loss at Club Brugge where they took 19-11 shots.
Lens beat Paris FC 2-1 in their last home match, falling behind before Florian Thauvin scored and assisted Thorgan Hazard. They lost 1-0 at Lille on Friday, registering just 0.19 xG.
Five Straight for Como
Como have won their last five matches, the first four by 2+ goals. They beat Manchester United 4-1 in the Champions League, Nico Paz registering two goals and an assist.
Tasos Douvikas scored twice in a 2-0 victory over Sassuolo before rallying to win 3-1 at Torino, Paz the star once again after assisting Jacobo Ramón and scoring himself.
Cesc Fabregas’ side are coming off a 1-0 win against Venezia to maintain fourth spot in Serie A. Lucas da Cunha’s first half penalty was the difference as they registered 1.63-0.19 xG.
