Lens will be happy to host Nantes in their next Ligue 1 game as they look to bounce back to winning ways. Off the back of two straight losses, Les Sang et Or would have wished for an opponent they’ve dominated before, and Les Canaris fit the bill. Follow on for our prediction of the match.
Lens are coming from back-to-back defeats by PSG and Lille. They have never lost three straight league matches and it is not history they’d want written here. Facing a team they’ve beaten in the last three league matches in that case, is welcome.
While Lens look at this as a winnable game, Nantes will want to frustrate them as they are also in dire need of a win. The visitors are without a win in the last seven matches.
Their last win came in August, against bottom side Montpellier. Since then, Nantes have added to their tally only three points, leaving them 14th. They are just a point above the automatic relegation slots following their most recent defeat – 2-1 at home to Marseille.
Nantes may fail to match Lens defensively but they have a weapon in their attack. They only failed to score in one of their last nine matches.

Our Lens vs Nantes Prediction
These two sides lack consistency, ahead of their meeting. While Lens would be the favorites on paper, they have been wobbly in recent matches, only winning once in the last eight matches. They could rise here but Nantes will definitely come ready to pack a punch.
As both teams are struggling and Lens failing to win any of their last three home matches, we may be looking at shared spoils here. Our prediction for Lens v Nantes is for the game to produce a draw.
