Lens – Nice Tip Coupe de France, final on Friday, 22.05.26 at 21:00
The grand finale of the Coupe de France is coming up and the omens could hardly be more different. With my Lens Nice tip, we look at a duel between the runners-up and a team that is fighting to stay in the relegation playoffs. A real David versus Goliath scenario.
I am committing myself to a bet here that clearly reflects the balance of power. My tip is “Win Lens with handicap -1”. At Betano Germany you get a strong odd of 2.35 for this. That means we need a win with at least a two-goal difference.
Why am I so convinced? Lens have had an outstanding season and Nice are on the brink of the abyss. The quality and the current form speak a clear language for the favourites. Nice’s focus should also already be on the upcoming relegation.

Another exciting bet is “Lens will score in both halves” (odds approx. 2.30). Lens’ offense has been a force to be reckoned with this season, especially in the cup with an average of 3.2 goals per game. Nice’s vulnerable defence is unlikely to be able to withstand this.
Given Lens’ offensive power and Nice’s defensive weakness, a bet on “Over 2.5 goals in the game” is also worth considering. Lens have already scored three or more goals in 16 matches this season, which supports this Lens Nice prediction. The odds around 1.70 are also very strong.
What you need to consider when betting on Lens vs. Nice
