Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Stade Bollaert-Delelis will host Saturday’s football game between Lens and Nice, the two top-table sides. Lens aim to remain undefeated in the 2024/2025 Ligue 1 campaign, but they are capable of beating Nice at home as well. Summer signing M’Bala Nzola is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while all Martin Satriano, Kevin Danso, and Jimmy Cabot remain in the recovery room.
Les Aiglons, on the other hand, rolled over St Etienne 8-0 in their last league match and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Nice’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Jeremie Boga, Hichem Boudaoui, Gaetan Laborde, Morgan Sanson, and Terem Moffi. The opposition back-line should have former Borussia Dortmund teenager Youssoufa Moukoko at bay as the 19-year-old scored a brace in the triumph over les Verts, while providing an assist for Evann Guessand.
