Welcome to Extratips – Lens vs Strasbourg Ligue 1 Match Preview & Predictions
The Stade Bollaert-Delelis sets the stage for a fiery Ligue 1 showdown as Lens hosts Strasbourg on November 22, 2025, at 16:00 local time. Both teams come into this match in strong league form, sitting high in the standings: Lens is currently 2nd with 19 points from 9 matches, while Strasbourg aren’t far behind—5th with 16 points after 8 games.
Looking at the latest odds, Lens is the favorite to win at 1.95, a draw sits at 3.60, and Strasbourg’s away win is offered at 3.80. 'Both teams to score' is tipped at 1.67 for 'Yes,' and 'Over 2.5 goals' at 1.80, meaning bookmakers expect an open, attacking fixture.
Lens will want to bounce back after losing 0-2 at home to Strasbourg in February. The last five meetings: Lens 0-2 Strasbourg, Strasbourg 2-2 Lens, Lens 3-1 Strasbourg, Strasbourg 0-1 Lens, Lens 2-1 Strasbourg. At home, Lens have taken 3 wins in their last 5; Strasbourg, away, has 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 5.
Players to watch include Lens' J. Panichelli (7 goals, 8 apps) and Strasbourg’s E. Emegha (2 goals in 4, but currently injured). Strasbourg faces a blow with several key players unavailable, including Ben Chilwell and Emegha, which could affect their attack.
Key strengths for Lens: solid defence at home, clinical finishing by Panichelli, and strong midfield creativity through Thomasson (4 assists). Weaknesses: trouble against quick counters, lapses in concentration after scoring, and occasional flat first halves. Strasbourg’s strengths lie in set plays, fast wing play, and a resilient mentality, but recent injuries, defensive gaps, and slow starts remain weak spots.
Watch out for: Lens seeking revenge for last meeting’s loss, Strasbourg’s injury-hit lineup, and the duel between the league’s most in-form attackers.
