Winner : Lens

Nice is heading into this match in very poor form, having drawn their last three matches and lost the one before that. They are struggling to find wins and have only managed one victory in their last five games. Lens, on the other hand, are in even worse shape, having lost four of their last five matches and drawn the other, meaning they have not won a game recently. Their defense has been a big problem, conceding a lot of goals in those losses.

Looking at past meetings between these two, the games have often been tight and low-scoring, with several 2-0 results and a couple of 0-0 draws. However, there have been a few higher-scoring encounters, like a 3-1 win for Nice a couple of years ago. Based on their recent struggles, both teams look vulnerable, but Lens has been slightly more competitive despite their losing streak. This match seems very close and could go either way, but given their recent results, a draw looks like the most likely outcome.
