Our prediction for this Coupe de la Ligue match:
Nimes will be looking to put an end to their five-game winless run when they host Lens at their Stade des Costieres in the Coupe de la Ligue. Nimes made a very slow start to the new Ligue 1 campaign and, as a result, they sit in the danger zone in the standings ahead of the visit of Lens. Les Crocodiles are low on confidence ahead of Tuesday’s football match and they surely face a difficult task in the match against Lens, who are seen as one of the main favourites to secure automatic promotion to the French top flight.
The Sang et Or head into the League Cup clash following back-to-back goalless draws with the likes of Auxerre and Nancy and that is the main reason why a low-scoring match is on the cards at Stade des Costieres. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
Highlighted Player (Lucas Deaux):

Born in Reims, France on December 26, 1998 Lucas Deaux started his career at Reims. The right-footed midfielder scored seven goals in 117 appearances in the league for the Stade Auguste Delaune outfit and he moved to Nantes in the 2012 summer transfer window. Deaux quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the club and you should bear in mind that he played no less than 119 league matches for les Canaris from 2012 to 2015.
In 2016 he moved to Belgium, signing a deal with Gent, but he made only five appearances for de Buffalo’s in the Belgian top flight. Lucas Deaux soon returned to France as he signed a three-year-deal with Guingamp on July 1, 2016. His main position is defensive midfield, but he is capable of playing as a centre-back as well if needed.
His preferred foot is right and the 188-cm-tall footballer is very good in the air. Lucas Deaux scored two goals, while providing five assists for his teammates in 38 appearances for Guingamp in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign.
Highlighted Team (Nimes):

Founded on April 10, 1937 Nimes Olympique are a French club that will compete in the Ligue 1 in the 2018/2019 season. Les crocodiles were playing an important role in French football in the last 50s, with the team finishing second on four occasions (1958, 1959, 1960, 1972).
Nimes made it to the French Cup final in 1958, 1961 and 1996, but they eventually failed to lift the trophy. Nimes are well known for their red home colours, but they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. Stade de Costieres has been the home of Nimes since 1989, when it was opened.
The venue can hold up to 18,482 spectators and the construction cost €160 million. Speaking of the club’s notable footballers, the likes of Wilson Oruma, Mehmed Bazdarevic, Aliou Cisse, Benjamin Moukandjo, Laurent Blanc, Frederic Piquionne and Eric Cantona were all part of les crocodiles in the past. Montpellier are considered their biggest rivals.
