France Ligue 1: Lyon vs Lens 17/05/2026

Match Odds Betting

Final round in France as well, with a huge match in Lyon where the home side are “playing all in” for a top four finish, while Lens are already confirmed in second place after their impressive title race alongside Paris Saint Germain for almost the entire season.

Lyon stumbled in the previous round at Toulouse and now absolutely need three points to secure their place in the prestigious top four. Good team, good coach, and an overachieving season after the financial problems of last summer. There is also a huge hunger for the top four and the Champions League money that would provide major relief for the club.

Lens are also having a season beyond expectations, as nobody expected last season’s eighth placed side to fight for the title until the very end. In the final stretch, Saz’s team could not keep up and will finish second, but they also have the Cup final next week ahead of them. Lately they have looked somewhat tired and this has shown in their results. The coach is not afraid to rotate and will likely do so again here with minimal motivation for this match.

The first choice is the motivated side, while the price on the home win allows betting value.
