Nice vs Lens Predictions

• Lens have seen three or more goals scored in 12 of their last 13 matches
• Nice are winless in five home league games
• Lens have scored three or more in five of their last seven outings

Lens set to showcase their attacking talents

In what is a dress rehearsal for the Coupe de France final, Lens should be able to gain a mental edge with a high-scoring Ligue One success away at Nice.

With four games to go bridging a six-point gap on leaders Paris St-Germain may be a tough task, but Lens look to have clicked back into gear and can continue to keep up the pressure.

Lens were held to a 3-3 draw at Brest last time out but they dominated the shot count 25-6 and that came on the back of two victories over Toulouse, with a 3-2 league success followed by a 4-1 win in the cup semi-final.

Across those two scalps of Toulouse, Lens had 23 shots on target to show that the chances are coming freely and they should have too much firepower for Nice, who have failed to win any of their last five home games.

Lens have scored 60 goals across their 30 league games, winning on 20 occasions, and they have a habit of being embroiled in entertaining encounters.

Pierre Sage’s visitors have seen at least three goals scored in 12 of their last 13 outings and they should be full of confidence as Rennes and PSG have both won 4-0 on recent trips to the Allianz Riviera.

Lens have kept only one clean sheet in 11 outings, giving Nice hope of getting on the scoresheet, and correct-score punters should opt for a 3-1 victory for the visitors given their attacking qualities.
