  • The French side played out a 1-1 draw against Sevilla in their opening group match.
  • Arsenal continued their impressive start to the season with a resounding 4-0 victory at Bournemouth on Saturday.

  • Lens have excellent home record. While they had a rough start this season due to some key players exit but they started to gain the rhythm. I don’t see Arsenal coming here and snatching all 3 points at ease. Lens to score & u4.5 goals is the pick for me irrespective of the result.
