THE PREDICTION
Lyon ended 2020 top of the Ligue 1 standings on goal difference following a superb run of 14 games without defeat, which stands as their longest unbeaten streak in over 15 years. Only PSG have outscored them in the division this season while they boast one of the meanest defences so there is nothing to say Rudi Garcia’s men can’t sustain their title challenge in the second half of the campaign, especially with no European football to distract them. They face off against one of the most inconsistent teams in Ligue 1 here with the last six games seeing Lens alternate between a win and a loss, and given that Lyon have the bit between their teeth right now, a home win can be expected.
