Command Analysis
Lorient
FranceLorient got off to a perfect start of the season. Club had been in Top-4 of Ligue 1 for a few months and hoped to fight for European places. But Les Merlus started to lose points just before the World Cup break.
Things didn't get better after the World Cup - Regis Le Bris' men are currently at the 7th position with 36 points in the asset. Lorient sit eight points behind the 4th place and it won't be easy for the club to overcome this deficit. Les Merlus earned only one victory in five latest matches. The Blood and Golds had many draws recently.
Lens
FranceLens, just like Lorient, played well in first months of the season. But Lens were at the top of the standings longer than the opponent. The Blood and Golds are still flying high - they are 3rd in the Ligue 1 standings.
Not too long ago Franck Haise's men were 2nd in the league, just behind PSG. Lens had only one victory in five latest matches. The Blood and Golds had many draws recently.

Tip and bets
We are expecting goals from both sides today. Lens started to experience some problems in Ligue 1. Club already lost the 2nd spot to Marseille, so the Blood and Golds are unlikely to put that much of an effort into the Cup game. Haise's men will probably concede at least one goal.
Our prediction - both teams to score
However, we offer to place a bet on the visitors here. Lorient are lower on Ligue 1 standings and played not as good as Lens in recent matches. We are not expecting a sensation here.
Our second bet is on Lens to win the match
