Lens vs Lorient Prediction and Betting Tips | November 2 2025

Lens face off with Lorient in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis this Sunday.

The surprise package of Ligue 1 this season, Lens have climbed up into 6th thanks to some strong recent results, but suffered a stunning loss this midweek. Lorient, meanwhile, are in 16th, but could climb up a number of places with a win here.

So will Lens bounce back with a win here, or will Lorient steal some points?

Lens vs Lorient Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Lens have won four of their last six meetings with Lorient dating back to 2022, and have not lost at home to this weekend's opponents since April 2019.
• Lens looked to be flying high last weekend thanks to an impressive 2-1 win over Marseille, who were top of the league coming into that match. The win seemed to signal Lens as a surprise contender - but they then slumped to a shocking 2-0 defeat to bottom side Metz on Wednesday, bringing them back to earth with a bump.
• Lorient also upset the odds on Wednesday, but in a good way, as they surprised everyone by securing a 1-1 draw with reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain. It was a very hard-fought point, as Lorient faced 15 shots on goal and had just 21.9% possession during the match.
• Lens' defeat to Metz was their first loss in six matches, snapping a five-game unbeaten streak. However, they have only lost once at home this season, to Lyon on the opening weekend.
• While Lorient would've been buoyed by their draw against PSG, they have not won in their last four matches now, and their win over Monaco on September 27 is their only one since August.

Lens vs Lorient Prediction

Before this Wednesday's games, Lens probably would've been an easy pick to beat Lorient, as they looked great against Marseille and had won three in a row.

However, a loss to lowly Metz will be hard for them to take, and Lorient will have their tails up following their draw with PSG.

Does this mean that Lorient should be favoured here, though? Perhaps not. Lens have put together a very strong home record this season, and it's likely that they will make a host of changes following that loss to Metz.

Given Lorient have not won in over a month now, it feels more likely that Lens will bounce back, then. The prediction is a home win.

Prediction: Lens 2-1 Lorient
