In that match, Lille had 68% possession and 13 shots on goal with 4 on target. Nantes got 10 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Mostafa Mohamed (83') scored for Nantes.

🔮 Prediction
When taking everything into account, RC Lens will have a tough ask to score against this Lille team who should get the vital goal that wins it.
That’s why our selection here is for a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for Lille after 90 minutes.
Hopefully it’s a good one.
