Team News

Lens
Nantes
  • Expected to leave the club at the end of the month, Antoine Kombouaré will be forced to deal with a weakened side for the reception of Nantes.
  • However, the French manager welcomes Loïck Landre back from suspension, who will return at the heart of the defence alongside Ahmed Kantari if available.
  • Valentin Belon will start in goal in Rudy Riou's probable absence due to a back injury.
  • American international Alejandro Bedoya and Vincent Bessat are Michel Der Zakarian's only injury concerns ahead of the trip to Amiens.
  • Vincent Bessat may return to the starting XI at left-back following his return from suspension, while Serge Gakpé will feature for the last time for les Canaris before he joins Genoa.

Prediction

  • Having succumbed to their 5th league defeat in a row against l'OGC Nice last time out, the end of the season will now come as a relief to le Racing Club de Lens, who have endured a nightmare campaign both on and off the pitch.
  • Michel Der Zakarian's men slowly but steadily gave up on their most ambitious objectives once their safety was secured this season, having won only 1 of their last 8 league matches coming into this fixture.
  • While the hosts are guaranteed to end the season at the bottom of the league, les Jaune et Vert can still reach a more respectacle 11th-place this term, but they will need a much-improved performance against a relegated but tenacious Lens side to do so.
