Nice host Lens at Allianz Riviera, Nice on Saturday, Dec 12 at 5:00 PM in the Ligue 1.

Nice come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Lens travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Nice and Lens have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Nice won 1–3.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Nice a slight edge, but Lens are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
