Lens host Sporting CP with both sides level on three points

Level start

Lens stand tenth in the table with three points from one played, one place and a goal-difference point behind Sporting CP in sixth. A win for either would take them to six points from two; a draw would leave both on four. The market prices them nearly identically, Lens at 38.2 per cent, the visitors at 36.7, with a quarter of the probability mass on the draw.

Lens have won their last two recent matches, 2–1 against LYON and 2–0 against STL, after a defeat to MON in September. Sporting CP are unbeaten in their last five, three wins and two draws, most recently a 3–1 victory over SCB.

Tuesday night

Neither side has played more than one Champions League fixture so far, and both made winning starts. The gap between them in the table is a single goal-difference point, with Sporting's plus-two edging Lens's plus-one. A defeat for either would leave them on three points from two played, still waiting for the picture to clarify. Kick-off at Stade Bollaert-Delelis is at 19:45 on Tuesday, 13 October.
