On the contrary, Lens are sitting in the lower part of the Ligue 2 standings, being very close to the relegation zone. The team has lost six times with single triumph earned in 10 battles played on the road. The club’s offense looks good enough, having scored 11 goals unlike its defense which has already conceded 12 goals. In the most recent fights conducted at away fields Lens deserved 2:2 draw against Paris FC, 0:1 win over Le Havre and 1:1 draw vs. Nancy.
It goes without saying that the hosts have better chances for a successful outcome of the forthcoming clash as the team is on a good pace in the Ligue 2, being in a nice shape. On the contrary, Lens haven’t impressed in their recent away games, thus, their chances for a victory are too little. However, the latest head-to-head was rather tough for Nimes as the club got only 2:1 triumph, consequently, the upcoming fight won’t be too easy for them.
Prediction for the match: Nimes to win.
