Lens will look to put icing on the cake on a successful season when they face Nice in the Coupe de France final at the Stade de France. Given the huge gap in quality and form between the two sides, we predict a 2-0 home win. It has been a remarkable campaign for Les Sang et Or, who come into this showpiece event off the back of a dominant 4-0 Ligue 1 win over Lyon and a league season that saw them finish 2nd, securing Champions League qualification. Their recent form has been strong too, with 1.7 points per game over their last ten matches and an impressive 2.2 goals scored per game during that stretch. Defender Kyllian Antonio is doubtful after a minor knock, but he is not a regular starter, so Lens should remain largely unaffected in defensive selection.
Nice, meanwhile, arrive in far less convincing form after a disappointing goalless draw against already-relegated Metz. Les Aiglons managed just one win in their last five matches and average only 0.9 goals scored per game across their last ten. However, they do offer defensive resilience on the road, conceding just 1.0 goal per away match in that run. Melvin Bard returns from suspension, providing a boost at the back.
Given Lens' superior form, attacking potential and Nice's poor form, Home Win should be considered, alongside Lens to Score First and Under 3.5 goals (despite Lens’ firepower, finals are often tighter).
This Coupe de France match will be played on Friday 22 May 2026 at 20:00.
