Tours vs Lens prediction (1x2)

Tours – Lens Playing for the most of the time defensively, Tours snatched an important win in previous round, on the road, against attacking minded Bourg Perronas. Scored twice from counters (first goal after a huge mistake of CD) while in defense they closed perfect the gaps, Bourg Perronas being unable to score even from a penalty saved by Kamara. But the inevitable has taken place and star striker Kouakou left the team for Caen (Caen who brought also another striker from Bourg Peronnas) so let’s see how Tours will cope without 2 strikers who left the team lately (remember Bosetti left also the team). Lens had a much easy game than they probable expected. Hosting Brest, they fully dominated taking an important win in their fight for promotion. Plenty of chances at least in first half, but they need lucky deflection to convert in goal one of these chances. Good game made by them the wining being without doubt. Lens without some key players here Delle (1st GK), Valdivia and N’Diaye. A game between two balanced teams, both with some problems, both in good run, a game which will end all square IMHO. gl
