Lens Win
The statistics show that Lens won 53% of their home games while Saint Etienne lost 76% of their away games. Overall, Lens won 15 games out of 34 played of which nine were at Bollaert-Delelis.
Under 3 Goals
Lens’s four of their last five home games saw three or fewer goals. On the other hand, Nantes nine of their last 11 away games saw the same number of goals. Also, five of the last seven h2h games saw three or fewer goals.
Anytime Correct Score 1-0
Twice this season lens won by the score of 1-0 at home while Nantes lost three times by the same score while playing on the road. In addition, the majority of times Lens scored the first goal in their home fixtures, 11/16 to be exact.
Lens couldn’t extend their winning streak to four and drew in their last game with PSG in Paris. Nevertheless, a draw in the capital with the champions is always a fine result as the Blood and Gold kept their hopes alive for a top-five finish which qualifies for Europe.
Clearly, the main reason for Lens’s recent success is their defense. In detail, coach Franck Haise’s team conceded five goals in their last eight games with an average of 0.63 which is lower than their 1.24 season average. Moreover, Lens scored two or more goals in their last three home games.
Nantes meanwhile went back to winning ways after a thrilling 5-3 win over Bordeaux at home in the last round. With that win, the Canaries raised their tally of points to 50 and are comfortably positioned in mid-table.
Concerning Nantes’ current form, coach Antoine Kombouare’s men are having a much better season than they did last season as they gathered 19 points more than they did last season at this stage. Also, the Canaries are performing very well in offense and defense with averages of 1.41 scored and 1.21 conceded.
Obviously, Lens is in better form in recent weeks and the need for three points is much stronger for Frank Haise’s boys. As a result, we will back Lens to win and avenge their defeat in Nantes earlier this season.
