Lens vs Nice Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions
Nice will be out to stop their slide when they travel to Lens for their next Ligue 1 game this Saturday. Hosts Lens head into this game three points off the top three while Nice have dropped to sixth on account of a poor run. Fifth placed Lens hit 42 points and strengthened their Champions League chances after beating Brest 1-0 in their last game. Ruben Aguilar scored the lone goal, a rebound after Elye Wahi failed to connect with a cross, for Lens’ second straight win. It was also their second straight clean sheet after earlier beating Lyon 3-0. Things have been more stable for Lens in the recent matches, after going on a four-match run without a win. They’ve however lost just once in their last seven matches, winning five. This run should give them the needed confidence going into the business end of the season. A win here could see them leap into the automatic Champions League spot. A home run with seven wins in 10 league matches is good for their confidence. Their only defeats in the last 10 home league matches were against Monaco and the league leaders.
Nice have a good run against Lens and will be banking on this to change their fortunes. They did win the reverse fixture 2-0 at home and will be targeting a double here. In the last three matches against Lens, Nice have kept clean sheets, winning two. In their last eight meetings, Nice have managed six wins, and only lost once. Their recent matches haven't been as rosy though. Nice come into this game without a win in their last six matches. They have five defeats and a draw in that run. Their most recent match ended in a 3-1 defeat by PSG, marking their elimination from the French Cup. The last time Nice enjoyed Ligue 1 success was in January, when they beat Metz 1-0. They come here having failed to score in three of their last six matches in Ligue 1. It has been tougher for them away from home in Ligue 1. Nice have no win in seven away league matches. They failed to score in five of those seven matches. In 10 straight away league games, Nice haven't scored more than a goal.

Our Lens vs Nice Prediction
Lens have recovered from their early season slump and did well in their two matches ahead of this one. They will be looking to extend this run, and playing at home adds to their advantage. Nice on the other hand are limping in this crucial stage of the season and this will be another tough game for them. They have no win in six straight games and there’s reason to believe that will extend here. Our prediction for Lens v Nice is for Lens to win.
