Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Saint-Étienne in 9th and Nice in 13th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Saint-Étienne and Nice.

Nice form and stats
There's been little loot from Nice's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Ligue 1. Nice only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. Bitter travels for Nice as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Rennes match.
