We will have another big Champions League match on Wednesday night in London. This time, Arsenal will fight to seal their spot in the knockout phase, while Lens will look for their chance for points that could give them hope for the last round in the group phase. Arsenal are a big favorite to win, but Lens won versus the English team in France, so the upcoming game should be pretty competitive.
Arsenal returned to the biggest stage last season when they had the lead in the Premier League for almost the whole season. Arteta's team didn't win the title, but that season was a step in the right direction. Now, they are the leader again, but only one point ahead of Manchester City. Arsenal won the last three matches, so they will head up to the game against Lens with a lot of confidence. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Brentford. Although Mikel Arteta's team had ball possession (64%) and more shots on the goal, the win was not easy to pull. In the end, Kai Havertz's goal late in the second half was another to pick up all three points.
Lens are playing solid this season. They are sixth in Ligue 1, but the top-four status is only one point ahead. Lens lost only one of the last 12 games in all competitions. In the previous match, they won 3-0 on the road against Clermont. Interestingly, Lens had an xG of only 0.55, but it still scored three goals and secured an easy win. That kind of win will certainly give Lens more than enough confidence ahead of the game versus Arsenal.
Arsenal vs Lens pick: Under 3.5 goals
Arsenal allowed only two goals in the last four matches. Also, three of those four games went under 3.5 goals. On the other hand, Lens went under 3.5 goals in 13 of the last 14 matches. Under 3.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

Arsenal team news
Arsenal, in the game against Brentford, played without David Raya, who couldn't face the parent club, while Fabio Vieira was suspended. Both players could return on Wednesday versus Lens. It is realistic to see Raya as a goalkeeper, while Vieira will probably be among the substitutes.
Jurrien Timber, Emile Smith Rowe, and Thomas Partey remain out due to injuries.
