Lens Nice betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this challenge will be the existence of several goals. It is true that the home team occupies a more favorable position in the league table, however, on this day it receives an optimistic "enemy" to achieve a good result, aiming at the return to good results. In addition, both Lens and Nice have defensive lines with several problems. That said, and taking into account these factors, we expect a game with several numbers in the late 90'.

Preview
Lens and Nice meet at Stade Bollaert‑Delelis, in a match for the 21th round of the Ligue 1. Nice got a home win by (2‑1), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 23‑08‑2020. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 7th and 14th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 10th best team in home matches and the 8th best in away matches.

Analysis Lens

The home team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 31 points won, after 9 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Nantes, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Olympique Marseille, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 17 points in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 15 conceded, against 14 points won at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the last 9 home league matches Lens has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Lens comes to this game motivated after a 0-1 victory at Olympique Marseille, thus returning to triumphs after three consecutive games without winning in Ligue 1: the only goal of the match was signed by Simon Banza. In this match against Nice, coach Franck Haise should play in the usual 3-5-2, with Gaël Kakuta as the main organizer and creator of the offensive process. The player mentioned above is Lens's top scorer in the French league, with 8 goals. All players are available for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Jean-Louis Leca, Steven Fortes, Facundo Medina, Jonathan Gradit, Gaël Kakuta, Yannick Cahuzac, Cheick Oumar Doucouré, Igniatius Ganago, Ismaël Boura, Florian Sotoca.

Analysis Nice

The away team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 23 points won, after 6 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Metz, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Bordeaux, by (0‑3). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 15 points in away matches and 8 at their stadium, with 10 goals scored and 21 conceded at home, against 12 goals scored and 7 conceded in away matches. In the last 9 away league matches Nice has a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 15 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 13 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Nice comes to this clash with a 0-3 home defeat to Bordeaux, adding in this way the fifth consecutive game without winning in this competition. It is possible that we observe the home team to prefer the left aisle to attack, taking advantage of the depth offered by Hassane Kamara. Striker Amine Gouiri is Nice's top scorer, with 6 goals scored. The visitors' coach should not be able to count on Dante and Morgan Schneiderlin, both due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Walter Benítez, Youcef Atal, William Saliba, Robson Bambu, Flavius Daniliuc, Jeff Reine-Adélaïde, Hassane Kamara, Hicham Boudaoui, Pierre Lees Melou, Amine Gouiri, Kasper Dolberg.
