Lens vs Arsenal Head-to-Head Record
Arsenal hit the ground running in their opening Group B Champions League match with a 4-0 thumping over PSV and next up for the Gunners is a trip to France to face Lens on Tuesday night.
Lens recorded a respectable 1-1 away draw with Sevilla in their opening group game but will have home advantage for the first time in this season’s competition as they face Arsenal tonight.
The sides have met only four times in the past, with Arsenal holding the bragging rights (just) with two wins – with Lens recorded one victory and there being one stalemate.
Let’s take a look at the Lens vs Arsenal head-to-head record to take into the game.
Lens and Arsenal Last Met In UEFA Cup In 2000
With the last Lens vs Arsenal head-to-head coming back in 2000, then it goes without saying the line-ups will be very different to when the likes of David Seaman, Tony Adams, Lee Dixon and Thierry Henry were playing for the Gunners.
Therefore, these head-to-head stats should be taken with a pinch-of-salt.
That most recent clash came in a 2000 UEFA Cup semi-final – which Arsenal won 2-1 and came out of the tie as 3-1 winner on aggregate – but went onto lose to Galatasaray in the final.
Arsenal have also played Lens twice away from home and are yet to lose – with the already mentioned 2-1 win and a 1-1 draw back in a Champions League clash in 1998.

Arsenal’s Only Defeat To Lens Came At Wembley
From the four past Lens vs Arsenal head-to-heads, the only defeat for the Gunners came at Wembley in a Champions League game in 1998. They played their home Champions League games at the English National stadium due to the limited capacity at Highbury.
3 Of The 4 Past Lens vs Arsenal Head-to-Heads Went Under 2.5 Goals
The last time Lens and Arsenal met we saw 3 goals in that 2-1 Gunners win.
However, prior to that ALL three previous meetings between the sides went Under 2.5 Goals, with 50% of the overall head-to-heads also seeing just one goal scored in the match.

Lens Have Won Just 2 Of Their Last 8 Matches
Away from the Lens vs Arsenal head-to-head record, if we look at recent games played by Lens we’ll see that the French side have only won two of their last 8 matches played (all comps).
These two victories have, however, come in their two more recent games with league wins over Strasbourg and Toulouse, so are they finding a bit of form now?

RELATED: Champions League Head-To-Head Stats: Three Key Betting Angles For EVERY Match On Tues 3rd Oct
The Gunners Head To Lens Unbeaten In Eleven
In contrast to the Lens recent record coming into tonight’s Champions League game, Arsenal are in flying form.
The Gunners are unbeaten in their last 11 games and along with their bitter rivals Spurs, are the only two sides in the Premier League that are yet to lose a match.
Arsenal’s last defeat came away at Nottm Forest last May.
BTTS (no) Has Paid Out In 80% Of Arsenal’s Last 5 Games
Another betting option that might appeal is the ‘Both Teams To Score’ – or not – market.
This is because in 80% of Arsenal’s last 5 games saw BTTS (no) pay out, including in their most recent 4-0 away win at Bournemouth.

Saka Is The Top Gunner In Recent Games
Bukayo Saka has been the subject of some injury scares in recent weeks, but the England man keeps making the Arsenal line-up.
This has been bad news for the opposition though as the 22 year-old has fired in 5 goals this term, including another last Saturday.
He also scored one of their 4 goals in their Champions League opening 4-0 win over PSV and will be popular in the scoring betting markets again tonight.
