Nantes Lens betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely outcome for this match is a Lens victory. It is certain that the home team will have the massive support of their fans, but on this matchday they welcome an "enemy" who, in addition to coming off four consecutive victories, also has a much superior squad. It should be noted that Lens won their last two away games in the league, against Angers and Monaco. Therefore, the visitors are expected to demonstrate their quality and ultimately take all three points.
