Team News

Lens
Nantes
  • Kevin Danso is unavailable after being sent off in Paris last weekend.
  • Arnaud Kalimuendo is a doubt here after being forced off against his parent club last weekend.
  • Facundo Medina also remains a doubt; look for Massadio Haïdara to take his place in defence.
  • With each of Ludovic Blas, Fábio and Andrei Girotto suspended, Antoine Kombouaré will have to be creative with his XI here.
  • Pedro Chirivella remains a doubt after not making the squad for the team's win against Bordeaux.

Prediction

  • Both of these sides still harbour faint ambitions of a European place, but one will have to feel that Nantes, between their absentees, and a Coupe de France final looming next Saturday, will hardly be up to their usual standard.
  • While Les Canaris are six points off of the top six, Lens could move ahead of Strasbourg if the eastern side fail to beat PSG on Friday, giving Le Sang et Or extra motivation for this encounter.
