Nice return home looking to end a poor run after a 1-1 draw with Marseille, but their numbers are worrying. As Lens want to keep their Ligue 1 title hopes alive, we predict a 2-1 away win. Les Aiglons average just 1.0 point per game over the last 10 and score only 0.7 goals per match. At home, it’s even worse—0 wins, 0.33 PPG, and just 0.33 goals scored, while conceding 3.0 per game. Despite having no new injury concerns, their lack of attacking threat (50% failed to score) remains a major issue.
Lens, meanwhile, are still in the title race and arrive with stronger form (1.5 PPG). Les Sang et Or are one of the most entertaining teams statistically, averaging 4.2 total goals per match and scoring 2.4 themselves. However, their away form is shaky (0 wins, 0.6 PPG), conceding 2.2 goals per game. Still, with a fully fit squad, their attacking quality stands out.
H2H trends are tighter, but current form clearly favors Lens. Therefore, Away Win is our main betting tip, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Lens games are high-scoring, with Nice showing signs of improvement up front).
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Saturday 2 May 2026 at 20:05.
