Team News

Lens
Nice
  • The hosts are only without Cabot, Buksa and Fariñez, all of whom are long-term absentees.
  • Adrien Thomasson has gone from strength to strength since joining from Strasbourg, and could find himself a place in the starting lineup ahead of Claude Maurice.
  • Terem Moffi has joined Les Aiglons, but it's uncertain if he can be registered in time to be available here.
  • Don't look for wholesale changes from Nice after their impressive win over Lille at the weekend.
  • Fit-again Youcef Atal could also be an option at right back.

Prediction

  • Lens will have to be wary of a Nice side who are on the up, and who drew the reverse fixture in late December, underscoring their solidity.
  • Nice have quietly found form since the appointment of Didier Digard, and should have more than enough about them to make this a tough ask for Le Sang et Or.
