Nice vs Lens Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts are set to face Lens in the French League.

OGC Nice are ready to host RC Lens in Matchday 21 of the Ligue 1 2024-25 season. The hosts are in the fifth spot and a win here can take them to the Champions League spot in the table. Lens on the other hand are just beneath them in the standings currently after securing nine wins in 20 league matches so far.

Even though this is going to be a home game for Nice, they will be sort of low on confidence. Nice were knocked out of the French Cup in their last fixture. This puts pressure on them for their upcoming Ligue 1 game against Lens. It is mostly going to be an evenly matched contest but Nice will try to secure a win after using the home ground as their advantage.

RC Lens will be confident coming into their league clash against Nice as they won their last match. They scored a goal each in the first half and later in the second half to seal the win. Lens also defended very well and also secured a clean sheet. It was a very good performance by them but they will surely sweat against their next opponents.

Players to Watch

Evann Guessand (Nice)

Having scored nine goals and providing five assists in 20 league games, Evann Guessand has been a great asset to OGC Nice this season. The 23-year-old forward is once again going to play a key role for his side in their upcoming fixture. His stats are decent enough and he can step up to get the numbers higher.

Adrien Thomasson (Lens)

The 31-year-old midfielder has been a crucial addition to RC Lens. Adrien Thomasson has scored a couple of goals and has also come up with three assists in his 20 Ligue 1 games so far. He will help Lens control the midfield and can also play timed balls for his attackers so that they can score and secure a win over their opponents.
