Northern Derby for this 25th day of Ligue 2! Saturday 15h, the Stade Bollaert-Delelis will certainly be full to attend the reception of Valenciennes, another regional rival behind the LOSC. Without victory for 4 days, the RC Lens crosses a small relapse and has downgraded to the rankings, to the point of being in 16th position at the dawn of this meeting. If behind, the last 3 advance in slow motion, the first relegation is only 6 points and the Sang et Or would be well advised to move away permanently from this red zone. Unfortunately, VA, 15th with only 3 points better than the RCL, will have exactly the same goal and will not want to drop point on the grass of the lensois rival!

Our Bet Explained
Lens-VA, historic northern derby! Meetings between rival clubs are rarely spectacular and enjoyable to watch …
Lens remains on a series of 7 consecutive games with less than 2.5 goals scored!
The Lensois have not won since 4 games in the league and they will not address this meeting with all the necessary confidence.
Same story on the VA side: 1 win in the last 8 days, for 2 draws and 5 losses! It will be necessary above all to stop the bleeding in Lens and try not to lose for Valenciennes.
Lens will be favorite at home but some fatigue may be felt, the Lens having played this Wednesday in the Coupe de France, just 3 days before the meeting …

Our prediction Lens Valenciennes
Derby, teams lacking confidence, the likely tired side of the favorites, nothing seems conducive to the fact that we attend more than 2.5 goals in this meeting!
