Red Alert: Beware that Lens games tend to be low scoring

"On home turf, the Blood and Golds have kept 11/12 below the line this season"

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.705/7 in Lens v Valenciennes

Lens v Valenciennes
Monday 19:30

NEC 0 PSV 3 in the Netherlands yesterday, which pushes Kev deeper into the black for 2016.

We've now got a fortnight to drag ourselves up to his level.

Starting in France, where sixth-placed Lens play host to relegation-threatened Valenciennes this evening and we're excited about how unexciting it should be.

The reverse fixture brought a 1-0 win for Antoine Kombouare's Lens and everything points to a similar outcome at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis tonight.

Home and away, 10/11 Lens Ligue 2 games have finished with Under 2.5 Goals. On home turf, the Blood and Golds have kept 11/12 below the line this season.

New Valenciennes boss Faruk Hadzibegic has seen his team fail to score in either of his first two away games in charge. Going further back, they've hit the back of the opposition net just once in six on the road. Since the start of term, 9/12 away matches have ended with Under 2.5 Goals.
