Prediction: 2-1
Nice
Lens and Nice go head to head at Stade Bollaert-Delelis in the Ligue 1 round 21. Lens have been performing above expectations in the 2020/21 Ligue 1 season, with the team sitting in top half of the table ahead of the visit of Nice. The newcomers are eyeing their fifth home win of the season, but, no doubt, they should be happy with one point from Saturday’s match. Yannick Cahuzac returns from suspension, while Cheick Traore is sidelined with injury.
Les Aiglons have been struggling to find their best form in 2021, with the team losing to both Brest and Bordeaux, while sharing the spoils with Metz. The likes of Danilo, Dante, Rony Lopes, and Morgan Schneiderlin are all likely to miss the game with injuries. Since Nice have been struggling at the back of late, we are tempted to put our money on Lens, who are enjoying a very successful season.
