Lens, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Brest in their last league game, Lens will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. During that encounter they had 41% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 10 shots on goal.
Manager Franck Haise will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
They have had a good run of form at Stade Bollaert-Delelis recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Elye Wahi will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Lens.
Nice, Recent FormThe Nice squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Montpellier, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 65% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Montpellier's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 8 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Terem Moffi will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Nice.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Lens who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-0 to Nice.
