On Thursday, December 29, at 22:00 at the Allianz Riviera stadium, the match of the 16th stage of the French championship “Nice” – “Lens” is scheduled, which will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 4 and Prima Sport 4.
Nice and Lance meet in a match that concludes the 16th round of Ligue 1, the first since the World Cup in Qatar and the last scheduled for 2022.
Nice are 9th in the table with 20 points accumulated after 16 stages and are a long way from the goal offered at the start of the season, a place on the podium that would have given them access to the UEFA Champions League, given that they finished in the previous season 5th place
Nice have the second weakest attack in Ligue 1 with just 15 goals, but also the second best defense in the league with 10 goals conceded.
The Cote d’Azur side, led by Lucian Favre since the summer, in his second term after the 2016-2018 season, resume the competition after a 1-1 draw at Lyon.
In the UEFA Conference League, Nice won the group with Partizan Belgrade, Cologne and Slovakia, advancing directly to the 1/8 finals of the tournament.
Rares Ilie, a Romanian from Nice, has not played in the championship for nine matches (in his last appearance in Ajaccio on September 11, he scored only one minute, entering extra time), and in the UEFA Conference League he last played on October 6 against Slovakia ( came out for the last 24 minutes).
Second-placed Lens after 16 games, 36 points eight behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain, have been the surprise team in Ligue 1 this season, losing just once, 0-1 away to Lille.
The team coached by Frank Heise (7th place last season) is coming off a six-game winning streak in the league, having won 2-1 at Reims before the break (they have eight wins from as many games at home).
Last season, the two teams shared their victories, each winning at home, Nice 2-1 in the first leg and Lens 3-0 in the second leg.
