Lens were unable to hold on to the lead they held for 66 minutes at Chateauroux on Monday ( it seemed longer !), the point was still valuable for them, as it saw them edge four points ahead of Nancy and cement their second place in Ligue 2, which they will retain regardless of what happens today.

There was only the Lyon v Racing Club Lens match previewed today. A 600 word preview with an official selection of Racing Club Lens +1. The selection won but the additional advice and guidance was even better for those who read the notes carefully. Two additional winners were identified at odds of circa 21.0 and 2.10. This underlines our repeated mantra that the service offers much more than the official red type selections.

I have previewed three Ligue 2 matches for subscribers today in what will be the first of eight newsletters scheduled for this weekend. Here are a few snippets from today's notes (some names have been changed/hidden ,but are based on real characters and events !).....

Angers were very pleased with their three points and four goals at Istres and now get their home season underway with a League Cup match with Lens.

Yesterday's email is reproduced in full below, I only previewed one match, it was a winner, but the result doesn't matter, when you "know" that long term you will win, it takes a lot of the stress out of day to day betting and you tend not to sweat individual results too much.
