Nantes Lens betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match places two teams that play offensive football, however, and looking at the moments it is possible to notice that Nantes' pupils have an advantage by playing at home. On the other hand, the visiting team occupies a more favorable position in the leaderboard, apart from the fact they present a more qualified squad. Having said that and taking into account these factors, risking in favor of the "Both teams score - Yes" market is a good option.

Preview
Nantes and Lens face at Stade de la Beaujoire ‑ Louis Fonteneau, in a match for the 20th round of the Ligue 1. In the last head‑to‑head for this edition of the league, played on 25‑11‑2020, these teams have tied (1‑1). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Nantes

The home team is currently in the 17th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 3 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Rennes, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Montpellier, by (1‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In the last 9 home league matches Nantes has a record of 2 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 27 possible.

They haven’t won any of the last 6 home matches for this competition. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 8 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 8 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 6 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Nantes enters this match with a draw, 1-1, in the trip to the Montpellier ground, making it the tenth consecutive encounter without winning in the French championship: the only goal of the team was signed by Imrân Louza. When they invest in the offensive process, naturally, they do it through the right corridor, taking advantage of the depth offered by the winger Marcus Coco. On the other hand, striker Ludovic Blas is Nantes' top scorer with 5 goals scored. For this round, the home team cannot count on Charles Traoré due to punishment.

Confirmed Lineup: Alban Lafont, Fábio, Sébastien Corchia, Nicolas Pallois, Andrei Girotto, Marcus Coco, Mehdi Abeid, Imrân Louza, Abdoulaye Touré, Kalifa Coulibaly, Randal Kolo Muani.
Coach: A. Kombouare.

Analysis Lens

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 27 points won, after 8 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Olympique Lyonnais, by (3‑2). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Strasbourg, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 24 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Lens has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 27 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Lens comes to this match with a defeat, by 0-1, against Strasbourg, making it the second defeat in a row in this Ligue 1. In this trip to the Nantes arena, commander Franck Haise should act with a defensive strategy, looking for only the counterattack in order to exploit the back of the enemy's defense. At individual level we highlight Gaël Kakuta, being Lens' best scorer with 7 goals scored. Facundo Medina and Cheick Traore are out of this match due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Jean-Louis Leca, Massadio Haïdara, Steven Fortes, Jonathan Gradit, Jonathan Clauss, Gaël Kakuta, Yannick Cahuzac, Seko Fofana, Florian Sotoca, Igniatius Ganago, Ismaël Boura.
Coach: F. Haise.
