Lens have made an impressive start to the season, going unbeaten in their first five Ligue 1 matches (W2, D3). This momentum is a great way for new coach Will Still to begin his tenure, but a major challenge awaits as they face Nice. Historically, Lens have struggled in this fixture, losing seven of the last nine top-flight encounters (W1, D1).

Nice is looking to carry the momentum from an impressive 8-0 victory over Saint-Etienne into their UEFA Europa League opener. This emphatic win marks just the third time in the club's history they've secured such a commanding margin in Ligue 1.

Nice's start under new manager Franck Haise has been disappointing, with only one win in their first four games (D1, L2) despite taking the lead in all but one match. Their defense has struggled, failing to keep a clean sheet so far this season.
