Strasbourg vs Lens prediction
Following the departure of manager Gary O’Neil to Wolverhampton Wanderers, Strasbourg are now under the management of impressive young Portuguese coach Hugo Oliveira. After a positive first half in their opener against Olympique de Marseille at Stade Velodrome last week, they then succumbed to a 4-0 hammering down in Southern France.
Lens’ manager also left for the Premier League with Pierre Sage leaving for Crystal Palace. The northerners have brought in former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Dino Toppmoller. His very entertaining style of football has thus far seen them win the Trophee des Champions against Paris Saint-Germain before earning a 5-2 win against Auxerre to kick off the Ligue 1 campaign.
This is expected to be an entertaining encounter at Stade de la Meinau on Saturday and both teams scoring seems a decent bet for this one.
