Kasper Dolberg can play a pivotal role in the centre-forward region for Nice. Dolberg has bagged 11 goals from 26 appearances last season.
Florian Sotoca can be the danger man from Lens’ end. Sotoca has registered nine goals from the last 28 appearances in the league last season.
Simon Banza has scored eight goals from the last 27 appearances for Lens and will be pushing for a start here.
Pierre Lees Melou has scored six goals from the last 29 appearances for Nice and is expected to start in at midfield.
Wylan Cyprien has registered eight goals from 24 appearances in central midfield for Nice and will be pushing for a start.
Nice are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 games in Ligue 1 and are also unbeaten in nine of their previous 10 home games versus Lens in all competitions. Lens have been out of the top division for quite some time now and could face some problems against a quality opponent. With that being said, the today match prediction odds are in favour of Lens getting the win by 2.00 as per bet365.
