Prediction: 2-1
Nantes
After sharing the spoils with PSV in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, Lens will look to escape the danger zone in the Ligue 1 table when they take on Nantes on Matchday 10. Les Sang et Or have been showing signs of improvement of late and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Both Cabot and Farinez remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Les Canaris, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Strasbourg and Montpellier, but they will have a big fish to fry against Lens, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. In their last encounter at Stade Bollaert-Delelis Lens outplayed Nantes 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The likes of Douglas Augusto, Ignatius Ganago, and Fabin Centonze remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Lens):
Based in the Pas-De-Calais department, Lens is a French club that plays home games at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The Sang et Or are well known for their red shirts with yellow stripes, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
The club was founded back in 1906 and the Sang et Or originally played in green and black shirts. Speaking of their home ground, Stade Bollaert-Delelis can hold up to 38,058 spectators. The venue was opened back in 1933, and renovated during the 2014/15 season. Lens did well to win the Ligue 1 trophy in the 1997/98 season, with the team finishing the process level on points with second-place Metz.
As a result, the Sang et Or represented France in the Champions League group stages the following season. The club’s biggest European success came in the 1999/00 season when they made it to the UEFA Cup semis. Lens have won two Coupe de la Ligue trophies as well.
