• Read on: Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Mönchengladbach prediction and betting tips on December 20, 2023

Nice

The "Eaglets" have already experienced the pinnacle of the French championship this season, although maintaining a high tempo proves challenging. Currently, Nice sits in second place in Ligue 1, trailing the leader by 5 points. In the last round, the team stumbled away against the modest Havre, suffering a 1-3 defeat. This loss marked the second in three matches. Injuries will sideline three players for this match.

Lens

The "Blood and Gold" had a rough start to the championship, lingering among the outsiders. However, Lens managed to regroup, climbing to the seventh position in the league table, with a mere 4-point gap from the top three. In the last round, the team didn't deliver the best performance but still managed to defeat direct competitor Reims 2-0 at home.

Lens also tested their strength in the Champions League, finishing third in their group. Consequently, they will continue their campaign in the Europa League playoffs, facing the strong Freiburg. Due to injuries, five players will miss this encounter.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• Lens has been unbeaten in 11 consecutive league matches, securing 7 victories and 4 draws.

• In 4 out of the last 5 head-to-head meetings, the "both teams to score – no" bet was successful.

• Nice has not suffered a home defeat in Ligue 1 this season, recording five victories and three draws.

Forecast

This will be a battle between formidable opponents, making it challenging to favor one side. Since the focus is on the result, expecting an open game with numerous dangerous moments may not be warranted. We consider a wager on the total goals being less than 2.5 as viable.
