Lens' Title Charge Hits a Stumbling Block at Nantes?
Lens has been sensational this season, sitting second in Ligue 1 with 64 points after 31 games. Their attack has been potent, scoring 55 goals, while their defense has conceded just 29. Nantes, on the other hand, has struggled mightily, languishing in 16th place with only 23 points, their goal difference a grim -25. Their home form has been particularly poor, with only four wins at the Stade de la Beaujoire all season.
The key matchup will be Lens's dynamic midfield against Nantes's weary defense, which has let in 59 goals. Lens comes in on a three-game unbeaten run, including a dominant 3-0 win over Monaco last time out. Nantes, however, has won just once in their last five matches, a narrow 1-0 victory over a struggling Lyon.
Lens takes this one, 2-0.
