Prediction: 1-2
Lens
After failing to win the previous five league matches, Nantes will look to return to winning ways when they face Lens in the Ligue 1 round 20. Les Canaris suffered a dip in form, with the team dropping to the danger zone and, no doubt, Saturday’s clash is of big importance for the hosts. Eray Comert limped off with injury in the last league match, with Nicolas Pallois likely to step up. Benie Adama Traore misses out through suspension, while all Simon, Mohamed, Moutoussamy, and Castelletto are still on international duty.
Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Toulouse and they managed to get one. Franck Haise’s troops have regained a much-needed confidence and given the number of important absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. Jonathan Gradit is banned for the match, while all Cortes, Khusanov, Mendy, and Guilavogui are on international duty.

Highlighted Team (Nantes):
Founded on April 21, 1943 Nantes is a professional football club that compete in French Ligue 1. Les Canaris are considered one of the most famous French clubs and they had a lot of success during the sixties and the seventies. Nantes won their first Ligue 1 title in the 1964/1965 season and 36 years later (2000/2001) they clinched their eighth (last) domestic trophy.
Speaking of the club’s European success, les Canaris did well to make it to the Champions League semis in 1996, but Italian giants Juventus proved to be a big catch for the French outfit. Nantes welcome their rivals at La Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau and the capacity of the stadium is 38.004.
The likes of Vahid Halilhodzic, Adel Selimi, Michel Der Zakarian, Viorel Moldovan, Mario Yepes, Marcel Desailly, Didier Deschamps, Claude Makelele, Christian Karembeu and Dimitri Payet are the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Nantes are well known for their yellow jerseys and that is the reason why they are nicknamed the Canaries (les Canaris).
