Expert Betting Tips

RC Lens have the advantage according to stats but their current form is nothing short of a disappointment. They are in the top 4 and they need to be careful or face the risk of dropping down the table. I think going to Clermont to grab a win will be almost impossible for Lens, so we will back each team to find the back of the net at least once in regular time.
