Lens vs Nantes Free Predictions and Tips by Football Whispers
Contents
Ligue 1 predictions by Football Whispers are premised on extensive research and analysis. While Lens needs only three points to be in top five, Nantes must win at least three of the remaining four games to have any chance in European football next season. The following are our best three picks for this match:
Lens to get the three points @ 13/20 (1.65)
We expect Lens to win all the three points in his duel. The hosts have improved massively ahead of this game while Nantes has become worse, winning only twice and failed to keep a clean sheer in the last seven games. Lens is now unbeaten in four games of 3W and 1D, during which the hosts have kept two clean sheets. Lens is 7th on home record after 9W, 5D and only 3L on home soil. On the flip-side, Nantes is ranked 13 on away performance after 4W, 5D and 8L.
First team to score: Lens @ 1/2 (1.50)
The first goal should come from Lens in this duel. The hosts are having a strong resurgence and home support should play significance in how they perform in this game. While Lens has two clean sheets in the last 5 outings, Nantes defence has been porous within the same during, failing to keep a clean sheet.

While Nantes is struggling to keep clean sheets, Lens is having a strong resurgence with four games to the end of the season. Lens has more chances of being in top five than Nantes. A 3-0 win in this game could see the hosts in top five but that will also depend on how other teams like Nice and Strasbourg above them perform this weekend.
