Quick Picks

Our pick: Lens to win

Value bet: Under 2.5 Goals

Long shot: BTTS not hitting

Betting Preview

In Ligue 1 betting, Lens were the second-best team in France.

Under Pierre Sage, they finished just six points behind champions PSG in the table, having improved significantly on their 8th-placed finish from last season.

Lens have had a solid run in the cup, having entered the competition in the Round of 64. They would defeat SC Feignies 3-1 at home before going on the road and winning 3-0 against Sochaux.

In the Round of 16, they were on the road again but would beat Troyes 4-2, before needing a penalty shootout away from home to beat Lyon 2-2 (5-4 on penalties).

Sage's team would hammer Toulouse in the semi-finals, winning 4-1.

In stark contrast, Nice have had a torrid domestic campaign despite reaching the Coupe de France final.

Although there was a large margin between them and Nantes in terms of points, Claude Puel's side could still be relegated to Ligue 2.

They have a two-legged tie against St-Etienne to think about after this Cup Final.

In the French Cup, they've had a much better time on the pitch.

Nice defeated their play-off opponents 2-1 at home in the Round of 64, before beating Nantes away from home on penalties after the game finished 1-1 (5-3).

In the Round of 16, Nice defeated Montpellier 3-2 at home before beating Lorient on penalties in the quarter-finals after a goalless draw (6-5).

The semi-finals saw them record a 2-0 away victory against Strasbourg.

It's worth noting that these two teams played in the league at the beginning of the month, with the game ending 1-1.

Lens had Saud Abdulhamid sent off in the second half, with Nice leveling the game three minutes later.

Betting Markets to Watch

Lens have been made the favourites, and this is perhaps down to the fact that they have had a much better overall season.

Of course, with Nice fearful of relegation, they may have their minds elsewhere, which is perhaps reflected in the moneyline odds.

With each of Nice's last four Coupe de France finals were decided by a single-goal margin at most, there may be better value in the handicap with Lens at -1.0.

We think the 'Under 2.5 Goals' bet may offer value. Six of Nice's last seven games produced under 2.5 goals, while Lens have scored seven of their last 10 in the second half.

The BTTS not hitting offers long shot value, as Lens are solid defensively and Nice's priorities are elsewhere.
