Lens, Recent FormLens manager Franck Haise will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Troyes. In that game they had 73% possession and managed 22 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Troyes who had 6 attempts and 1 on target.
Haise will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 15 games in a row. A number of teams visiting Stade Bollaert-Delelis have struggled to break through on goal this season so far with the home side having kept 5 clean sheets.
They are showing impressive form at home with a run of 10 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten at Stade Bollaert-Delelis in 15 league games.
Nice, Recent FormNice will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Lille. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Lille's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Nice will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Away from home in the league, Andy Delort has given the Nice travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
Lens will have been disappointed not to take all 3 points in their last league match against Nice with the game ending in a 0-0 draw.
Ahead of this match, Les Aiglons won't be happy with their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal against Lens in their last 2 meetings.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Lens manager Franck Haise with Adam Buksa (Ankle), Jimmy Cabot (Cruciate ligament) and Steven Fortès (Knee) all unavailable for selection, and Wuilker Faríñez (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
There is only really one injury concern for the Nice manager Didier Digard ahead of this clash, with Marcin Bułka (Shoulder) missing out, which gives Digard a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
