Metz Lens betting prediction

|  Lens |
Betting suggestion:
Given what we discussed earlier, the possibility of a game with a few goals is great. It is true that Lens are going through a phase of enormous confidence, however, they face an opponent who has been doing good games at their stadium, that is, they are expected to use a more cautious strategy. On the other hand, Metz should take advantage of the opponent's flaws to create danger, especially through counterattacks. In this way, we imagine a very open game with several moves of danger, making risking in favor of "Both teams to score - Yes" market a good option.
