Orleans take on the visitors Lens at “Stade de la Source” in the gameweek five of the French Ligue 2. The match will be played on Monday, August 28th.
Orleans have saved their place in the French Ligue 2 only in the Relegation Play Offs last season. After the summer break Orleans have already conducted six encounters, having been knocked out 2:3 by Nancy in the Coupe de la Ligue while after four rounds played in the Ligue 2 the team sits on the 10th place with seven points taken and 6-4 goal difference which is not so bad for the last season’s outsider. Orleans surprisingly show solid performance at their own turf, having not been broken across 11 consecutive games since the 27th of January covering seven victories and four draws.

Lens, on the contrary, were fighting for promotion to the Ligue 1 last season but occupied only the fourth position in the table, being only one point behind the teams sitting on the second-third places. The current season is a nightmare for the visiting side as Lens lost five out of six clashes and got only one win with nine goals for and 14 goals against. Currently the club has zero points earned with 5-10 goal difference resulted in the side’s occupying the 19th place among 20 teams in the standings of the Ligue 2.
Orleans and Lens head-to-heads history consists of three encounters covering two triumphs of Lens 3:1, 4:2 and one win gained by Orleans with 2:1 scoreline. Taking into consideration the teams’ results in the first clashes of the season, I believe that the hosting side must take three points in the forthcoming battle.
Prediction for the match: Orleans to win with 0. Asian handicap.
