Venue: Allianz Riviera (36178 seats)

Getting closer to the top clubs is on the list when these two mid-table clubs do battle. Both are targeting to improve their league table position, Nice in 10th and Toulouse in 13th spot.

Insights:
  • Nice have the fewest matches over the total-line (13) in Ligue 1
  • Toulouse have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Nice form and stats

The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Nice at their home stadium (Allianz Riviera) is 6 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats.

No payout for Nice in their previous match, an away game at Strasbourg that ended in defeat 0-2. The talented striker Bouanani outdid all the other players in that game and received a match rating of 7.42 out of 10. Bouanani hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Rennes.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Nice's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 10 games, won 5 matches, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Nice are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 17 games.

Toulouse form and stats

As the visiting team in Ligue 1 matches, Toulouse have produced an overall stat of 6-2-9 so far.

Toulouse aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 292 league minutes without a goal. Aboukhlal was the last player to find the net. Toulouse have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Maxime Dupe. It's been 237 minutes since they last conceded in Ligue 1.

Toulouse played 0-0 against Nantes in their previous match. Defender Nicolaisen was the best team player with a rating of 8.1. Nicolaisen won 13 of 17 duels.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Ajaccio that ended 0-0.

Toulouse are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 22 away goals from 17 games (in the league). Toulouse's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 29 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Nice have put together a streak of 4 consecutive matches without defeat (2-2-0) when playing Toulouse.

This isn't the first time these teams meet on the pitch this campaign, as the statistics show this recent fixture: Toulouse - Nice 1-1.
