Nice take on the visitors Lens in the round 16 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Thursday, December 29th at Allianz Riviera (Nice).
Nice has yet to back up their current ambitions with truly impressive results. The Eagles in recent years have lured to a fairly ambitious and curious mentors. First Patrick Vieira started his European career as coach. Christophe Galtier worked last season at the Allianz Riviera - and at least did not live up to all expectations, finishing in 5th place. In the summer, they decided to return Favre, who at one time, not so long ago, took bronze with more modest opportunities. But so far, Lucien is far from repeating it. So far, the results are evenly divided, 5 wins, draws and losses each - and, as a result, the club met the winter only in 9th position.

Lens can rightly be called the main breakthrough of this season. The "Blood-gold" are memorable for its peak at the turn of the century, when the only championship was taken, and each of the cups, and there were good successes in the international arena. Then there was a rather protracted decline, and only in 2020 did the popular club return to the elite. There they gradually improved, finishing in 7th place in the spring. And now the wards of Frank Esa manage to go on the 2nd position, second only to PSG. Moreover, for the whole autumn there was only 1 defeat, on the field of Lille, and 3 more draws, with 11 victories! However, there was a pause longer than a month. It only remains to be seen if that cool form has disappeared after such a downtime. While scoring a lot, Lens conceded just 10 goals in 15 matches, averaging 0.33 goals per game. Including friendlies, Lens goes to Nice with a streak of eight wins in a row! Fantastic number.
Nice had 4 wins in a row in head-to-heads. But in the spring, Lens was able to win at home 3-0. A game in which bookmakers cannot name a favorite, but in which there is absolutely no faith in Nice. The success of the hosts is quoted as much as 3.26 against 2.57 for Lance's success and 3.03 for a draw.But at the start of the championship, Lens were stronger - we dare to bet on them with a handicap of "0".
The visitors have impressive season so far.
Prediction for the match: Lens to win with 0.0 handicap.
