Nice form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Nice, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) in Ligue 1, have to build on here at Stade de l'Aube in the Ligue 1. Two home wins in a row for Nice bring valid hopes of a third.
Nice's last game was hosting Olympique Lyonnais (placed 9th) and winning 3-2. A very satisfying win for Nice against Olympique Lyonnais last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2. The win was secured through Evann Guessand's goal in the 90th minute. Nice goalkeeper Walter Benítez did an outstanding job against Olympique Lyonnais with six saves, so vital to securing the victory. A late climax in the match against Olympique Lyonnais as the winning goal came one minutes into overtime; scored by Evann Guessand. The forward Andy Delort was declared "man of the match" for Nice with the rating of 7.83/10. Delort scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Prior to that, an away loss at Troyes.This is expected to be a close game, with Nice perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nice as a small favourite), we find seven games. Nice has won three of these, drawn one and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Nice as they are travelling to their away game against Angers SCO in the Ligue 1. That match is four days after this one.
