Match Prediction-IRE vs BAN 2nd ODI Betting Tips and Match Prediction
The champions’ 3-1 victory over Troyes has kept the gap to Lens in first place at six points. While title glory is still mathematically possible for Les Sang et Or, few will anticipate PSG to falter in their upcoming matches against Ajaccio, Auxerre, and Strasbourg.
However, Lens have already locked up a top-four finish and a place in Europe for the following season, while Monaco, the team most likely to deny them a place in the Champions League, is eight points behind Haise’s team. This is a true testament to Haise’s management, who Thierry Henry recently praised as the best in Ligue 1. Despite Reims travelling up north in good spirits, Lens is by far the best-performing home team in Ligue 1 this season, having dropped just five points from their 17 games at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. They have won 15 games overall, including each of their last four.

While Les Rouges et Blancs’ chances of qualifying for Europe may be dwindling, the 10th-placed hosts can undoubtedly be proud of their accomplishments under the visionary Still over the past few months as they enjoy a straightforward stroll to the finish line.
Reims’ three-game scoreless streak and four-match streak without a clean sheet were both broken by Munetsi’s header. After recent losses at the hands of Clermont and Rennes, Reims’ next task is to avoid a third straight away defeat. However, they haven’t experienced three straight top-flight losses on the road since April 2016. The 10 men of Lens faced Reims at the Stade Auguste-Delaune last September and were held to a 1-1 draw, but that spirited draw extended the visitors’ winless streak against Les Sang et Or to five games since a 2-0 Coupe de France victory in January 2019.

Reims would not have won their match against Lille and are unlikely to do so against Lens if Cabella had not tapped the ball into the grateful gloves of Yehvann Diouf when it appeared harder to miss. Abdul Samed’s return will strengthen Les Sang et Or’s midfield, and with Openda continuing to score consistently, Lens should easily defeat Les Sang et Or to advance further in the Champions League race.
Lens 2-0 Reims, predicted by us.
