Prediction: 1-1
Lens
Nice and Lens square off against each other at Allianz Riviera in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Wednesday’s program. Les Aiglons aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Le Havre and it has to be noted that they are after their fifth consecutive win at home ground. Defender Jean-Clair Todibo is banned for the match, while both Khephren Thuram and Sofiane Diop continue to miss out with injuries.
Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Reims, but seeing that Nice are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. Fit-again midfielder Oscar Cortes is pushing for a start after getting his name on the scoresheet at the weekend, whilst all Nampalys Mendy, Jonathan Gradit, Deiver Machado, Jimmy Cabot, and Wuilker Farinez remain on the sidelines through injuries.
