Arsenal XI vs. Lens Prediction
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Lens
Arsenal are the favorites in this match, but it will not be easy against a well-organized Lens team that is difficult to take down. The Gunners will have to be patient and create chances in open play. If they succeed, they should be able to achieve victory.
Both Saka and Jesus are in good form and will look to add to their goal tally. Trossard could also be a key player for Arsenal, as he has the ability to create chances out wide.
Lens will look to hit Arsenal on the counter, and they have dangerous players in Wahi and Sotoca. However, the Gunners have a solid defense, and they should be able to keep Lens at bay.
Overall, I think Arsenal will win this match 2-1. They have better quality players and they should be able to break down the Lens defense.
