Command Analysis

Nice

Current form
Nice's priority is to participate in Ligue 1 and get into the top 4. This confirms that the team completely failed the European Cup campaign and lost 1-2 to Stab Briochen in the French Cup a few days ago.
Currently, Frank Esa's players are in fifth place in the standings, and this is, in principle, not bad, because we all remember how in the first ten rounds the team performed terribly and was among the worst clubs in the league. Now it's in the past, and at the moment Nice is actively fighting to get into the top 4. The gap from this place is only one point so far, so you need to try to beat the upcoming opponent in order to break into the Champions League zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Moffy, Boga, Sanson, Rosario are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Nice does not lose four consecutive matches.
- In the last four games, the hosts scored
Approximate line–up: Bulka - Ndaishimie, Dante, Bard – Kloss, Santamaria, Budaoui, Abdi – Diop, Gessand – Laborde.

Lens

Current form
"Lance" caught the courage, because they were able to win in the last two rounds, and this allowed them to break into the top 6. The guests have the best defensive line in the entire league. During the past part of the championship, Will Still's team conceded 18 goals, while even the PSG goalkeeper got the ball out of his net 19 times. It is also impossible to ignore the fact that the guests began to play more actively in attack, and the fact that they managed to score in the last four matches is excellent evidence of this. The gap from fourth place is only two points, and the closest pursuer manages to be ahead by only three points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Labo Lascari, Chavez, Satriano, Petrich, Coffey, Aguilar, Sotoka are injured and will not play.
Interesting betting trends
- Lance has won the last two rounds
- In the last four games, the visitors scored
Provisional squad: Ryan – Frankowski, Gradi, Sarr, Medina - El Aynaoui, Thomasson – Machado, Diouf, Koyalipu – Nzola.

1.77The Nicebetwill score in the second half
In three of the last four matches, Nice scored in the second 45 minutes.
1.70Tip and bets
Both opponents are not used to staying too long in their penalty area. Nice has failed to score in only one of the last ten meetings. Remarkably, Lance has similar statistics. In face-to-face confrontations at the Allianz Riviera stadium, two opponents scored in three of the last five meetings. We are inclined to believe that the upcoming match will also be pleasing with its sharpness and two teams will be able to score.
Our forecast is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.67
Betting on the outcome
Nice has not lost a single match in the national championship on its own field this season. We believe that Lance is currently not in such good playing shape to interrupt these statistics, but the guests should not lose either, based on what a great game they are currently playing. We're betting that there won't be a winner.
The bet is a draw. This bet is offered for 3.35
Betting on corners
Nice has an average of 5.5 corners per match, while Lens has 5.7. Both indicators are quite high, so we'll make another additional bet on the fact that there will be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.80
