Nice form and stats

5-3-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Nice in their Ligue 1 matches away.

Nice play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Nimes (placed 20th). Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Angers SCO in the Ligue 1.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise.

The outsiders lost zero of these games by at least two goals.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nice manager A. Ursea as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Olympique Marseille.

Nice find the net regularly in their away games. 14 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on Nice as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
