This week French League Cup matches
|
Nancy are guests to Lens this Wednesday. Home team were fifth last season and this year they will fight to survive in the strongest league of France. On the start Nancy suffered a defeat by Lens, but now the question is if the hosts can repeat the play from the start of the season.
Lens will try to end the winless series…
Lens haven’t seen victory for a month now. Team marked three consecutive defeats in the championship and the defeat by Nior, a second league team eliminated them from the national cup. The only competition where they still can achieve something is League Cup where they reached best sixteen last season. Nancy managed to win once at Felix Bollaert, but their current form doesn’t guarantee that the hosts will play to win because they are focused on preserving their status in the first league.
Manager Papin will be able to count on his strongest line-up for this match. But since this is the team that marked four consecutive defeats, it is all the same who will play. Midfielder Keita will be the candidate for the starting eleven since he is recovered after a month long break.
Nancy are excellent this season…
Nancy play quite good this season and they are second at the moment. They marked seven victories and three draws at home, no defeats. They are not so convincing away, though. Only two triumphs with even six draws. Lens and Le Mans are the only two teams that managed to pick up all three points when Nancy played away. Besides contention for the second place, team play in two more competitions. In national and League Cup and they will definitely try to win the trophy in some of the cups.
Last season, Nancy were eliminated from the cup by Lyon. Current form puts them in the role of the favourites so they will definitely try to use the crisis of Lens. Camerling should probably play in this game and reinforce the attack of Nancy in this match.
Betting verdict
Lens are in a crisis and the question is whether the team are eager to lay in League Cup and fight for survival in championship. They were defeated in the last four games and conceded 9 goals. Nancy haven’t been defeated for more than a month and they certainly want to take the trophy at least in League Cup. The guests have more reasons to try in this match, so we suggest betting on away win, but if you don’t believe in the quality of the second team try betting on over 2.5 goals.
Our tip: Bet 5 on Away win
