Lens vs Lorient prediction

THE FORECAST

Lens stands second after a convincing opening matchday with 5 goals for and only 2 against, while Lorient has not yet scored in the first week(s); the attacking potential of the home side under new captain Thauvin and loanee Ivanović clearly gives an advantage. The injury burden at Lens (Antonio, Baidoo, Celik, Gradit, Blas, Seidu) is considerable, but Lorient's offensive inability – 0 goals scored – limits the danger of the visitors. The weather conditions (19-25°C, dry, light wind) are neutral for both teams and do not favor any specific playing style.
