Predictions & Statistics

Placed 2 with 64 points from 31 outings, Lens continue to operate from a strong competitive position. Their overall return of 20 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses with goals at 61:33 reflects mixed form over their recent run. Their attacking weight is carried by Odsonne Édouard (12 goals), F. Thauvin (10 goals), W. Said (10 goals), with creative support from Adrien Thomasson (9 assists), Matthieu Udol (7 assists), F. Thauvin (5 assists), while defensively they have appeared fairly stable. At home, the record of 13 wins, 0 draws, and 2 losses points toward a very strong split record. They are competing near the top and remain under pressure to hold that position. Their broader style still suggests balanced attacking football. They also have disciplinary concerns to manage, with J. Gradit, R. Gurtner, S. Abdulhamid, M. Sangare, A. Thomasson unavailable.

With 23 points from 32 games and a place of 17, Nantes still have clear room for improvement in overall consistency. The overall return of 5 wins, 8 draws, and 19 defeats with a 29:51 goal balance points toward poor form over their recent run. Going forward they depend heavily on M. Abline (6 goals), Mostafa Mohamed (4 goals), Fabien Centonze (3 goals), with creative support from M. Abline (4 assists), Chidozie Awaziem (2 assists), M. Kaba (2 assists), while defensively they have looked quite vulnerable. Away from home, they have managed 2 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses, a return that supports a weak split record. They are under visible pressure near the relegation zone. In football terms they often show a more cautious and defensive approach. They are not at full strength, with F. Centonze, T. Tati, K. Amian unavailable, although the overall attacking core still looks largely intact.
