Lens vs Nice Preview and Team News
Lens Team News
A memorable 2025-26 season saw Pierre Sage lead Lens to a runners-up finish in Ligue 1. However, history could be made on Friday, as Les Sang et Or target their first-ever Coupe de France title.
Lens have enjoyed a dominant end to the season, losing just once in their last six fixtures, including an excellent 4-0 win over Lyon on the final day of the campaign. Wesley Said starred in that win with a brace.
Florian Thauvin has been a strong performer in the domestic cup, registering five goal involvements. Samson Baidoo and Jonathan Gradit are unavailable due to injury.
Nice Team News
It’s been a difficult season for Nice, though they still have the opportunity to salvage it with major silverware on Friday. However, it could be argued that their most important fixture is still to come, as they face a relegation playoff to secure their top-flight status.
Claude Puel’s side have won just once in their last nine outings, with their sole victory coming in the French Cup semifinal against Strasbourg. Scoring goals has been an issue for Les Aiglons in recent weeks, as they’ve failed to register more than two goals in any of their previous seven Ligue 1 matches.
Sofiane Diop has been a rare bright spot in the final third with 10 goal involvements. Melvin Bard will be available after serving his suspension, but Moise Bombito will miss out due to injury.
Lens vs Nice Predicted Lineups
Lens vs Nice Prediction
- Pick: Lens to Win
- Odds: -164 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Lens 3-0 Nice
History could be made this weekend, as Lens appear to have an outstanding opportunity to win the Coupe de France.
They bring excellent form into this clash, having won two of their previous three encounters. Their reliable defensive record has also seen them keep clean sheets in two matches over that period.
Lens’ strong attacking record should give them a major advantage on Friday, as they have scored 12 goals in their last six games.
In contrast, Nice arrive with little confidence, having won just once in their last nine outings and failed to find the net in a recent 0-0 stalemate with Metz.
Lens vs Nice Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Lens to Score Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: +190 (20Bet)
These two sides could hardly be in more contrasting form, which is why a comfortable Lens victory stands out as the preferred outcome. They have been offensively strong throughout the season, with only PSG scoring more goals in Ligue 1.
Overall, Lens have averaged 2.00 goals per game, while their attacking confidence should be high following last weekend’s 4-0 win over Lyon.
Nice’s defensive record offers little encouragement, as they have allowed 1.95 goals per game and have conceded at least once in 82% of their encounters.
