Winner : Lens

Lens have had mixed results lately, with a couple of wins, a draw, and two losses in their recent games. Metz have also been inconsistent, managing two wins but also suffering two defeats and a draw in their last five matches. Looking at how these two teams have played each other recently, their meetings have often been close, with a mix of low and high-scoring games.

Based on their current form and recent history, this looks like it could be a very close match. However, Lens are playing at home and have shown slightly better form recently, so they might just have the edge.
