@Qudit As I said before, I think you can't! You just have to live with that! That's the way it is! Sorry!
Has no-one recommended a crystal ball yet?

here is one player for you to block and avoid beforehand: haindi
look at his game against me: lichess.org/lAlcbGk0
thinking only 10 seconds on each (decent) move for 35 moves, and then look at his games against stockfish level 1 and 3 (his real non-assisted games), blundering all over the place, and playing like a 800 patzer who just learned the game.

The most efficient way to avoid playing cheaters, is to depend on the Lichess community to report them and have the cheaters investigated the day before they end up in a match with you.
In other words, be the change you want to see.
In other words, if you feel like you were cheated, make sure that you take the time to report those players for investigation.
You will stop someone else from having to play a cheater, and you will depend on someone else's report to stop you from having to play a cheater.
This is how it works.
This is the only system that can prevent anyone from having to play cheaters.

How to know if i am being "investigated" for cheating because i really think that i am being investigated or even punished in some way even tho i dont. My games take very long to start and i dont get any rating from my games.
Best way is to log out and view your profile.
Did you try reporting this person @orior ?
@IsaVulpes
Yes, I reported him. looks like the moderators don't agree with me about him. Maybe because he has one blunder and his moves don't look too hard to come up with. But I think his stockfish level 1 and 3 casual games say a lot.
Also, from my experience, when I had "flagging players" who play super fast just to burn your time, they also made mistakes because of playing too fast and I could find the way to punish them. Here I couldn't find any flaw in all those quick moves. Even the blunder is something only a computer and GMs maybe would find the way to exploit with 20 seconds on the clock.
If you look at the blunder move time, it's the only move he played instantly, not even the usual 5-10 seconds. I think it's the only move he played by himself just to flag me even more. He already felt that he's winning no matter what.

I think most important is to change your attitude to that online play. Once you perceive that game as fun and way to learn, but not just wins or rating point gains, I guarantee you will start having fun even playing cheaters. I can't name how many times I played very low rated guys and felt being outplayed totally, but didn't give up. Often then my opponent would get huge advantage, or get into time trouble, that is where the fun begins, when you see sudden level drop from GM to the usual patzer :D. So just keep playing, having fun, learning, because there will always be someone who cheats, there just is no way to eliminate it out of online play.
I am not very much into reporting, because on the other hand I might just spam mods here with my "I think that guy cheated". Of course obvious ones who use same time per move and hit 10 avcpl with 0 0 0 I would report, but other than that, it is hard for me to say was it just my bad day or opponent's best day in his life. On the other hand it would be interesting to see Lichess statistics on how many reported people where actually recognised as cheaters and were banned.
