Nantes is not in the best shape right now. The club is on a series of three defeats in a row. But if you take a series without victories, then it already has four matches. Twice during this period, the “canaries” played with Juventus” in the Europa League (1:1 and 0:3). But two more times Antoine Comboire’s wards lost in the French championship, including to their opponent in this Cup match with a score 1:3 with Lens. Despite the setbacks in the last matchday, Nantes have been defending quite well this season. For 25 rounds of Ligue 1, all the neighbors of the team above and below conceded more. In the table, Kombuare’s wards are below the middle, on the 13th line. In the previous round of the Cup, the Canaries knocked out another representative of Ligue 1 with scores 2:1 with Angers.
Lens are in a much better position in this Ligue 1 season than Nantes. The club has been fighting all season for getting into European competition. Now with 50 points the team is on the fourth line. The gap between the “blood gold” with neighbors above and below is only two and three points. In recent months, the wards of Frank Eze have alternated with different results. In five rounds the team managed to win only once with a score of 3:1 with Nantes. In other meetings recently, Lens lost twice and drew. Despite recent results, the Blood Golds have the best defense in Ligue 1. Over 25 rounds the team conceded only 20 goals. Even the leaders PSG have three more goals conceded. But Eza’s wards have almost 40 goals scored, so the club differs twice as much as it lets through. More soccer football prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
