Lens vs Nice Prediction and Match Preview

Lens vs Nice Prediction

Lens extended their unbeaten run to five games in the league with a 1-4 victory against Rennes in their latest Ligue 1 match to motivate themselves. The team now have won two and draw three of their five matches at the start and will hope to add more three pointers.

On Saturday, they will host Nice and the guests have an inconsistent form in the league. They won two, draw one and lost two of their five league outings at the beginning. However, Nice attacking line has managed to score at least one each in four of the five league outings.

Moving on, Nice can rely on the recent tradition since they won the last three head-to-head clashes against Lens. However, Lens was unbeaten in seven of the last 10 encounters against Nice at this venue. By the looks of things, we expect an interesting clash at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

Lens is having a strong form at home of late. They are on an 11-match unbeaten streak at this venue and has won seven in that period. Do also note that the they have bagged a clean sheet in their two Ligue 1 outings at home.

Meanwhile, Nice have an unimpressive form on the road as they were lost three of their past four road trips. They have an unimpressive away form against Lens in the h2h too. Since Lens has an upper hand in all the above mentioned stats, we expect a win for them on Saturday against this Nice side.

Additionally, the two Ligue 1 home matches of Lens had goals under 2.5 ft. Since eight of their last 10 meetings at this venue had goals under 2.5 ft, we don’t expect this match to have over 2.5 goals.

Also, Nice failed to score in two of the last three defeats on the road. Since Lens has scored two each in their last two home wins, we expect a 2-0 win for the Lens side.
