Second-placed Lens go head-to-head with Nice at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, with kick-off set for 11:15 on Sunday 14 December.

Lens should have the upper hand against Nice. Taking the -1.25 on the Asian Handicap at odds of -102 means we need a two goal winning margin, although half our money will return if the favourites win by one.
