RACING CLUB LENS - SOCHAUX


At first glance, this looks a low scoring encounter, it could be argued that both would settle for a point and the visitors have been involved in a run of low scoring matches.


However, although Sochaux's have only scored once in 4 starts, they have been creating plenty of chances, averaging over 14 per game. In fact these have all been fixtures with chances galore at both ends, no reason for today's match not to follow a similar pattern.


Lens' matches this season are producing goals at the rate of 2.652 per start, the third highest in Ligue 1.


The h2h stats simply scream goals, the last 14 have contained 2 or more, at an average of exactly 3.0, with 8 of the last 9 being "over".


The "alternative" asian goal line has been set at 2, which means money back with exactly two strikes, so a bet that would have netted 10 wins and stakes refunded on 4 occasions, in the last 14 meetings.


Of course, historical statistics alone, should never be enough for us to get involved, but we can reasonably expect a lot of goal scoring opportunities in the game, based on recent performances, which adds up to an excellent bet, at the perfect goal line.


5 points Lens-Sochaux over 2 goals 1.75 asian line.


If the 2 goal option is not available to you, the 2.25 line, obviously at higher odds, could also be taken, for slightly lower stakes.


Good Luck.
