Lens vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Champions League Prediction
Arsenal will seek to maintain their perfect start in the Champions League when they travel to play Lens on Tuesday on Match Day 2. A 4-0 home win over PSV Eindhhoven has taken them to the top of Group B and already two points clear of the rest of the teams. They remain unbeaten for the season and will be confident of earning another three points from this trip to Lens. The home side are second in the group after drawing their opening fixture 1-1 at Sevilla. Their season hasn't been as successful as that of their opponents. It's a big match for Lens though as this is their first Champions League match at home in 21 years.

Lens - Arsenal: Form Analysis
Lens marked their Champions League return after more than 20 years with an impressive 1-1 draw away to Sevilla on Match Day 1. They conceded a goal nine minutes into their Champions League return but equalized 15 minutes later and held on for what could be an important away point. That result, against the reigning Europa League champions, was a turning point after a slow start to the season for Franck Haise's men. They are only 15th in Ligue 1 with seven points from as many games. That's considerably better than a couple of weeks ago after earning just a single point from their first five league games of the new season. Since then they had two victories over Toulouse at home and away at Strasbourg taking their unbeaten run to three matches. 'The Blood and Gold' will be out to continue their improved form in this Champions League home game against Arsenal.
Arsenal are also back in the Champions League after a long spell away, six years to be exact. They marked their return with an impressive 4-0 thumping of PSV at home on Match Day 1. Arsenal were the only team to win in their group in the first set of matches. That result sheds some light on how impressive Mikel Arteta's men have been this season. The Gunners have gone unbeaten in their 10 matches across all competitions and have won eight times. Arsenal recorded another 4-0 triumph last time out, defeating Bournemouth away to move up to third in the Premier League. As they have a 100% record away from home this season, Arsenal will be confident of victory here.

Lens & Arsenal Squad Analysis
Franck Haise will have the same squad that downed Strasbourg on Friday available to him. Elye Wahi marked his return to the first XI by scoring the winner against Strasbourg and should be in line to start again. The 20-year-old has been involved in two goals in his last two matches. He came off the bench to provide club top scorer Morgan Guilavogui for the victory against Toulouse.
Arsenal have been rocked with a string of injuries this season. Bukayo Saka could be the latest on the sidelines after the winger was withdrawn with injury against Bournemouth. Gabriel Jesus was also seen limping at full time at the Vitality Stadium. If Saka is to miss the trip to Northern France, it will be a big blow for the Gunners. Saka is the club's top scorer this season with five goals, one of which came on Match Day 1 against PSV.

Our Lens vs Arsenal Prediction
Arsenal have been one of the best-performing teams this season. They have already won the Community Shield (beating Manchester City on penalties) and are unbeaten in this competition and the Premier League. Lens were extremely strong at home last season and that helped them qualify for this competition. This season saw them get off to a slow start but they have turned the corner in recent games. They will find it hard to contain an Arsenal side with a 100% record as visitors this season. Our prediction for Lens v Arsenal is for Arsenal to win.
