Saint-Etienne vs Lens Betting Tips - BTTS/Draw

Recently-promoted Saint-Etienne welcome Lens to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard this Saturday evening in what promises to be an exciting Ligue 1 clash. 

Saint-Etienne, after a humbling 8:0 defeat to Nice, have shown some resilience following that heavy defeat, bouncing back with a 2:2 draw against Nantes and a 3:1 victory over Auxerre

Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches recently, suggesting we could see plenty of action again on Saturday. 

Lens come into this contest having remarkably drawn each of their last five Ligue 1 matches. William Still´s side picked up a 2:2 draw in their most recent league match against Strasbourg a fortnight ago.

The visitors have been particularly consistent in the BTTS market with both teams scoring in seven of their last eight away games in the league going back to the end of last season. Meanwhile, Saint-Etienne have seen both teams scoring in their last two outings. 

The recent history between these two sides also suggests BTTS can be expected with each of the last three meetings between these sides also seeing both teams scoring. 

Given both teams' form and the history between them, BTTS looks like the best option, while a sixth successive Lens draw cannot be ruled out.
