Lens have won the Trophée des Champions and thumped Auxerre 5-2 to open the season, while Strasbourg were battered 4-0 at Marseille. That is a wide gap in both form and firepower, and it should be glaring when they meet at the Stade de la Meinau in Ligue 1. See why our Strasbourg vs Lens match prediction backs Lens to win or draw with over 1.5 goals.
Les Sang et Or finished second in Ligue 1 last season and have carried that straight into this one. They beat PSG 1-0 for the Trophée des Champions, then put five past Auxerre. A side scoring at that rate, against a defence that just shipped four, points to goals for a Lens side that are unbeaten in six of their last seven league games.
Strasbourg themselves are not a bad team, having finished eighth and reached a European semi-final last season. But that 4-0 collapse at Marseille was a rough start, and that defeat marked five Ligue 1 games winless in their last eight.
They now face title-daring Lens who've just won three straight competitive games off the bat, if counting the 3-1 Como Cup win over Villarreal. Already Lens are undefeated in seven of their last eight games against Strasbourg. What's more, the "Lens wins or draws with over 1.5 goals" bet won in five of those eight games.

Lens have won the Trophée des Champions and put five past Auxerre, so this is not a side to back against. Strasbourg were hammered 4-0 at Marseille and are winless in five of their last eight games in the league. And that is definetly not a side to bet on.
What's more, Les Sang et Or are undefeated in seven of their last eight against Les Bleu et Blanc., and this exact bet landed in five of those. We expect Lens to avoid defeat in a game with goals. Hence, our Strasbourg vs Lens match prediction is Lens wins or draws and over 1.5 goals.
