Nantes vs Lens Prediction
Nantes managed one win in the last three matches, which was a 2-1 victory against Olympiacos. They went on to lose 3-2 against Lorient, before getting dumped in a 3-0 defeat against Qarabag FK. Nantes won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Ligue 1, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored 12 and conceded ten goals.
Aiming for a mid-table finish Nantes would require a quick upturn in form to even achieve even that.
Lens are unbeaten in their last three matches, first beating Lorient by 5-2. This was followed by a 1-1 with Reims and a 1-0 win against Troyes. Lens won half their previous six away matches in the Ligue 1, going undefeated as they drew three draws and lost none. They scored 11 goals whilst conceding five.
While not good enough for medals, Lens look well capable of a comfortable mid-table finish.
They usually throw caution to the wind, when clashing with each other, and with both Nantes and Lens scoring freely over the past weeks, we expect a highly entertaining match.
