Stade Bollaert will be the scene of an interesting opposition between RC Lens and FC Nantes. Here’s everything you need to know about this match.
Between 1995 and 2001, Lens and Nantes won 3 of the 7 editions of the French championship. They were then one of the very best teams in the country. But those days are long gone. The Sang et Or and the Canaries no longer sail in the same waters. That said, the standoff between them still arouses interest.
Author of a better start to the season, Lens is the favorite in this confrontation. Playing at home, the Artésiens should in principle impose their law against a Nantes team which is in full doubt. But, in football, the truth on the ground sometimes turns out to be very different from predictions. And this is why distrust remains in place for Northerners.
Nantes will have a lot to do against Lens
Both teams approach this part with a certain pressure due to their recent results. Still’s team remains on two defeats in a row, while the FCN has not won for seven games. Woe to the vanquished therefore, if there is a vanquished.
Note that during the past financial year there were no photos during the face-to-face meetings between Lensois and Nantais. It was 5-0 on aggregate in the two matches. There is no doubt that Chirivella and his partners will be driven by a real feeling of revenge. But will that be enough to achieve a first success at Bollaert since March 2013 (2-1).
