Nantes vs Lens Predictions

• Lens have scored in six of their eight away games in Ligue 1 this season
• Both teams have scored in three of Nantes’ last five home matches
• Lens are unbeaten in four games against Nantes

Nantes Proving Inconsistent

Nantes ended a five game winless run last time out when they beat Lorient 1-0, which was also the only time in six fixtures that they have kept a clean sheet.

Antoine Kombouaré’s side have actually picked up five victories this season, but they are yet to beat a team currently sitting in the top seven places in Ligue 1, suffering defeats at home to Nice and Marseille.

They have only conceded eight goals in eight home matches, but their two clean sheets both came against teams below them in the table.

They have actually scored in all bar one of their last five home games, and although I expect them to score in this one, Lens should have too much for them.

Lens To End Poor Run On The Road

Lens come into this fixture on a run of four away games without a win, suffering shock defeats to Brest and Montpelier in the process.

They remain in fifth place in the table though and have scored in six of their eight matches on the road, with both teams scoring in five of those games.

Franck Haise’s side have drawn their last three, but I expect that run to end here against a team who have picked up five points fewer than them so far this season.

I think both teams will score, but Lens will come away with the victory, courtesy of a 2-1 correct score prediction.
