While most other countries break up for Christmas, the poor guys in the French top-flight are being forced to run out in the freezing cold one more time this midweek.

We’re not going to waste time feeling sorry for them though as it’s given us a fantastic opportunity to make money. Promoted Lens are at home to relegation-threatened Saint Etienne and, luckily for us, the hosts are evens.

Lens have lost just once in eight and have won their last three at the Stade Felix Bollaert. The visitors on the other hand have gone six matches without a win – picking up three points in just one of their last ten – and lost their last two away games 0-4 and 0-3.

Still not convinced? The away side hasn’t won any of the last ten league meetings between these teams, with Lens winning three of their last four at home to Saint Etienne.
