Lens will head out to 15th placed Nantes seeking to condemn their hosts to a third straight defeat in Ligue 1. At the same time Lens, who are eighth, will also be looking to avoid a third straight defeat. Let’s have a look at the prediction for this match.
Nantes’ bid to avoid relegation suffered a major setback last time out, in their 7-1 loss to Monaco. That was the first time in their topflight history that the Canaries conceded seven times.
They will be even more disappointed after having scored first in that game. It was their second straight defeat and left Nantes just three points above the relegation region.
Lens are also coming off straight defeats in their last two matches, though not as heavy as Nantes. They fell 2-0 at home to Strasbourg in the last outing, having lost by the same margin at Nice earlier.
Les Sang et Or will approach this game confident of overturning their lean spell as they’ve dominated matches against Nantes. In the last four meetings between them in the league Lens came out winners.
Favored by history, Lens will be sure to reignite their push for European places. At the moment, they are three points below the top six and have only lost once in the last five away league games.

Our Nantes vs Lens Prediction
Nantes are coming from a damaging loss which definitely leaves a hole in their survival quest. They are now just three points above the bottom three and definitely heading into another tough encounter.
With their poor run at home, they go into this one as underdogs yet again, having lost the last four league matches against Lens. Both teams go into this game seeking to bounce back from defeats, but it leans heavily towards the visitors. Our prediction for Nantes v Lens is that Lens wins the match.
