This Will be Their 100th Head to Head Clash
These two sides locked horns 99 times so far and the score is tied 37-37 in terms of victories, 25 clashes ending without a winner.
Lens Arrive to Stade de France with High Confidence
Lens had a fantastic run in Ligue 1 this season, being the only squad to contest PSG in the title race but ultimately finishing second with 70 points after 34 matches.
The Blood & Gold looked fantastic in the final round, crushing 4th placed Lyon 4-0 as visitors with Wesley Said netting a brace, Florian Sotoca and Florian Thauvin also on target.
They also were very dominant in the French Cup semifinals, outplaying Toulouse 4-1 in front of the home crowd in late April, finishing this match with 3.33-0.28 expected goals, 62% possession and 10-1 shots on target.
Nice Could Drop to Ligue 2
Nice had a disastrous run in the French Ligue 1, grabbing just 32 points in 34 matches to finish 16th, and will need to battle St Etienne in the relegation playoffs later this month.
In direct battle for survival, the Eaglets were beaten by Auxerre 2-1 in mid-May despite gaining an early lead through Sofiane Diop.
In the final round, Nice couldn’t beat last-placed and already relegated Metz at home, the match ending in a goalless draw. They didn’t create a single goal opportunity at Allianz Riviera.

Verdict
Nice are under massive pressure as they will battle against relegation in Ligue 1 playoffs later this month and their recent form has been quite poor. I will back Lens to win the French Cup finals in regular time.
