Lens vs. Lyon (Saturday, 4.00pm)
Lens, recovering from a Champions League setback, faces Lyon at Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Despite the European defeat, Lens sits close to the top in Ligue 1, while Lyon remains at the lower end of the table.
- Our Prediction: Lens 1-0 Lyon
Lens could utilize their resilience after disappointments and their improved defensive shape to secure a narrow victory against Lyon, who have struggled to score goals consistently.
Nantes vs. Nice (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Nantes takes on Nice, aiming to hand Nice their first defeat of the Ligue 1 season. Nice remains close to the top, while Nantes sits in the middle of the table after a goalless draw in their previous match.
- Our Prediction: Nantes 0-1 Nice
Nice’s solid defensive organization might frustrate Nantes, who have had difficulties in the attacking third. Expect a disciplined defensive performance from Nice, possibly resulting in a narrow win.
