Goal Statistics

Nice have been abject at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 7 consecutive Ligue 1 outings. This run could continue, with Lens's PG an impressive 2.2.

A truly dismal PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Nice fans, as should a 11 Ligue 1 games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
