Lens vs Clermont Foot Prediction
Les Sang et Or have a 100% record at home this season and have kept a clean sheet in their last four games at Saturday's venue, so they are strong favorites to win this game. They are undefeated against Les Lanciers in their last eight games across all competitions, and a defeat here seems unlikely.
Clermont have scored five goals in their last three away games and should be able to score at least a goal here. Nonetheless, Lens have hit top form in recent games and should eke out a narrow win.
