For this great clash between Lens vs Nice, we believe that the home team will take the three points. Both teams have given good performances especially in the last few rounds; however, Lens has been one of the best teams in the tournament.
Lens is extremely strong at home, plus their results have shown that they have a great defense. Still, Nice’s attack has good numbers and can cause some problems.
