Nantes - Lens predictions

Kickoff starts at 21:00 on 03/02/2024 played @ Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau refereed by Florent Batta

Nantes are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Ligue 1, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 3.57, it’s not very likely to happen.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Lens should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 2.20, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

The hosts returned from their most recent Ligue 1 trip with a point in their bag. Based on the betting odds available, it was always going to be a tight game and Nantes can be satisfied with the fact they held level both at the halftime mark and after the full-time whistle.

Lens’s away match against Toulouse was a complete success. Most predictions agreed that Lens had better chances going in – but the complete dominance throughout the match was not expected, nor the decisive 0:2 score.

Nantes’s last two away games were marked by a low number of goals – one or less, to be exact. We’ll see if this trend continues for their away games.

A successful Over 2.5 Goals bet seems very unlikely, based on Lens’s previous performance. None of their 5 most recent Ligue 1 matches featured more than 2 goals.

With 19 points separating them from the relegation zone, Nantes still have time to stop the Ligue 1 season from becoming a total disappointment. They still have a lot to play for but with 3.57 odds on home win against Lens this Saturday, the hosts are not given too big of a chance to emerge triumphant.

The away team is hoping for a shot to move up from their table position, which is currently 8th. There’s more time in the season to do so, but bookmakers are predicting a hard-fought battle in Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau.

Lens won the home game they played against Nantes earlier in the season, and they did so with a notable goal difference. Winning this showdown as well would firmly establish them as the better team.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Fabien Centonze, Igniatius Ganago, Bastien Meupiyou Menadjou, Eray Cömert have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.82. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.

Betting tip (stake: 7/10): Under 2,5 1.82 at Pncl
