Arsenal vs. Lens picks and predictions
Prediction
Arsenal 2, Lens 0
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
There's just no value in taking Arsenal to win outright here, but that is the only play that makes sense.
Lens hasn't performed well against inferior sides on the road all season and especially in Champions League action while Arsenal continues to prove itself as one of the best teams in the world.
Avoid the moneyline play.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (+105).
Lens has gone Under this total in 6 of its last 8 games. It isn't a score-heavy side and has been shut out in 2 of its last 4 games. Lens will be facing a strong Arsenal defense as well. Along those lines, the Lens strength is defense, and it has 4 clean sheets in its last 5 games and hasn't allowed multiple goals since Aug 26.
Arsenal is allowing just 0.77 goals per game. It has a shutout in 3 of its last 6 and has gone Under this total in 3 of its last 4 games.
Take UNDER 2.5 (+105).
