We said: Nice 1-1 Lens

 While Lens are strong defensively, hosts Nice have been short of their best on home soil this season, so a low-scoring stalemate could be on the cards. In what could be an intense encounter on the French Riviera, both sides will aim to pick up where they left off, and a point apiece would not represent a bad result for either. Read more.
