Nimes vs Lens Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

Neither of these teams have got off to a particularly good start in Ligue 2, with Nimes yet to even score in their two matches in the competition and crashing out of the Coupe de la Ligue at the first round stage to Châteauroux in midweek.

For Lens it hasn’t been a much more successful opening to the campaign, although they did follow up a pair of draws in their first two matches with a 3-0 win against Ajaccio in the midweek round of the Coupe de la Ligue, a victory from which they may take some confidence ahead of the trip to Nimes.

Last season Nimes were strong at home, so it’s a surprise that they are available at such a large price for this game, although their problems in front of goal so far this season will have contributed to their status as outsiders.

Lens are expected to be challenging at the top end of the Ligue 2 table, but they were beaten 4-2 by Nimes on their visit to Stade des Costières last season.

With neither team playing particularly well so far, the goals market could be our best bet for a winner in this Ligue 2 match. Nimes have been hard to break down as well as they are struggling in front of goal, so we will take Under 1.5 Goals at 2/1 with bet365 and the 7/1 on the 0-0 draw too.
