Lens predicted XI v OGC Nice: Florian Thauvin and Allan Saint-Maximin start | OneFootball

RC Lens will look to maintain the pressure on Paris Saint-Germain when they travel south to the Riviera to face relegation strugglers OGC Nice. A six-point gap between Lens and league leaders PSG exists ahead of today’s fixtures. 

Pierre Sage vented his frustration with his side following last weekend’s 3-3 draw with Stade Brestois. The head coach will likely ring the changes with a completely changed front three. Wesley Saïd. Abdallah Sima, and Florian Sotoca should drop to the bench for Allan Saint-Maximin, Odsonne Édouard, and Florian Thauvin. 

In defence, Arthur Masuaku’s suspension means that Samson Baidoo should return to the starting line-up, while on the right of the defence, Saud Abdulhamid will likely come in for Ruben Aguilar.
