Nice and Lens are set to clash in Ligue 1, in another match that will go a long way in determining their European qualification chances. The two sides currently occupy the final slots for Europe, Nice, the hosts in fifth and Lens a place below. Read on for our preview and prediction.
Nice are going through lean times and are coming off an embarrassing defeat in the French Cup. National 2 side Stade Briochin beat them 2-1 in their round of 16 clash on Wednesday.
That was their third defeat in six matches and they are left with just a win in that period. They’ll however be eyeing a 10th unbeaten league game at home in this match.
Lens will not be an easy opponent for Nice; they are coming from their third win in a four-match run. Having been eliminated from the French Cup much earlier, Lens have had an extended period of rest.
The last time they took to the pitch was against the struggling Montpellier. They were clinical in their 2-0 win, also picking up a second straight clean sheet.
Lens will give Nice a run for their money, as they also carry into this game a run of four unbeaten matches away from home. A 1-0 loss to PSG in November is their only defeat in the last 11 league away matches.

Our Nice vs Lens Prediction
Apart from goal difference and a point, not much separates these sides and that might be felt in this game. The last time they met, the match ended in a 0-0 draw, the second such result inside their last five meetings. Nice are playing at home, where they have done well lately.
However, in their last three matches, they are winless, with two draws. Lens have done well in recent matches but it will take a lot to do the same against the Nice at home. With these considerations and their scoring runs, our prediction for Nice v Lens is for a draw and both teams to score.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
