Few people expected Lens to be Ligue 1 title contenders but they pushed PSG all the way and only ended up losing to the European champions by a six-point margin.

Now they have a chance to get something tangible for their efforts and Pierre Sage's men are heavy favourites against a Nice side who only just dodged the drop.

Lens vs Nice top betting tips

Lens head into the showpiece in good form, with their only defeat in the last seven games coming against PSG in the title decider.

Nice started their season in the Champions League qualifiers but losing out to Benfica set the tone for what became a disastrous campaign.

They ended up finishing third bottom in Ligue 1 and their only win in the last nine games came against Strasbourg in the semi-finals of the cup.

So it's no surprise to see Lens as hot favourites tonight at a best 12/25 with Bet365 for a win in 90 minutes.

There's more value in the player markets and I fancy Florian Thauvin to shine on the big stage. The former Marseille and Newcastle man has 12 goals this season and is 9/5 at Ladbrokes to score.

Fiorentina vs Atalanta

Serie A comes to a climax this weekend but there's nothing on the line in the Friday night football as Fiorentina host Atalanta.

After flirting with relegation for the most of the campaign, La Viola are now safe while Atalanta have already secured their place in the UEFA Conference League for next season.

That makes tonight's game a dead rubber so it's probably best betting a thriller. Under 2.5 goals looks worth a punt at 6/5 with Betfred while betting against BTTS pays 7/5 at BetMGM.

I'd be surprised if we saw a lot of corners with nothing to play for and under 9.5 flag kicks is priced 11/13 at Unibet.

Shamrock Rovers vs Sligo Rovers

There's a full card in the Irish Premier Division tonight and leaders Shamrock Rovers should see off struggling Sligo at home.

Shamrock Rovers are only three points ahead of St Partick's Athletic after 17 games so they need to keep their foot down.

Sligo Rovers sit second bottom after winning just four of their games so the home win is priced just 7/20 at William Hill.

It's hard finding value with Shamrock Rovers such heavy favourites but backing them to be winning at half-time and full-time pays evens at SkyBet.

Sligo conceded four at home to Galway in their last outing so over 2.5 match goals could also pay off at 11/10 with William Hill.

Super singles

  • Florian Thauvin anytime scorer 9/5 Ladbrokes
  • BTTS no in Fiorentina vs Atalanta 7/5 Unibet
  • Shamrock Rovers HT-FT Evens SkyBet
