Nantes, who are ten points apart in the French top league, will host last year’s second-place team, Lens, on Saturday night.
After narrowly escaping relegation last season by just a point, the hosts were anticipated to bounce back this season. However, it’s accurate to say that significant improvements have been lacking. Currently, Jocelyn Gourvennec’s team is only two spots above the relegation zone, separated from the bottom three by a mere three points. Therefore, each game for the rest of the season will carry the weight of a final.
Lens can reflect on an unforgettable 2022-23 season where they competed with record holders PSG for the title. However, it was evident that Les Sang et would have a hard time sustaining that level of performance this season. With a single victory from their past four matches in all competitions, Franck Haise’s team comes into this game trailing the top five by three points.
Nantes vs Lens Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Nantes has been struggling with their defense recently. They have managed to prevent the opposing team from scoring only once in their last seven matches across all competitions. Moreover, they have conceded at least two goals in three out of the five league games they have played during this time.
Recent meetings between Nantes and Lens across all competitions have been highly entertaining. In five of the last seven encounters, at least four goals were scored. We anticipate a similar high-scoring outcome on Saturday night.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Nantes vs Lens prediction: 1-2
