One remains on five consecutive victories, the other on five defeats in a row. One walks on water and occupies the head of the Ligue 1 ranking, the other is sinking towards the soft underbelly and has put aside its dreams of Europe to concentrate on the fight to maintain its position.
Sunday’s meeting between RC Lens and OGC Nice will pit two teams with completely opposite dynamics against each other. While the Sang et Or continue to surprise and dream of spending the holidays as leader ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, the Gym continues to get bogged down in the crisis.
The sad Nice record
This Thursday, Franck Haise’s men broke the record for the number of matches without a victory in the European Cup for a French club by losing to Braga (0-1). It is therefore not with high morale that the Côte d’Azur technician is preparing to return to Bollaert, a stadium that he knew well during his years on the Lensois bench, between 2020 and 2024.
Historically, however, Lens is doing very well for the Aiglons, who remain in six games without defeat against their opponent of the day. Better, out of the last eleven confrontations, the Niçois have only lost one: on April 10, 2022, already in Bollaert (3-0).
The kickoff of the match of the 16th day of Ligue 1 between Lens and Nice will be given at 5:15 p.m. this Sunday, December 14. The meeting will be followed live on the Ligue 1 + platform.
