📊 Form Guide
Nice
LDLLLW
Nice will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 1-3 Ligue 1 success vs RC Lens.
In that match, Nice had 40% possession and 7 shots on goal with 3 on target. For Nice, goals were scored by Terem Moffi (11', 67') and Khéphren Thuram (53'). For their opponents, Lens had 20 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Elye Wahi (76') scored for RC Lens.
It’s not been often in recent times that Nice have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Nice have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 9 goals on the way. That kind of pattern might not be continued here, of course.
A look at their previous results shows us that Nice:
- have left without a victory over Nantes in their last 3 league matches.
- haven’t won at home in the past 3 matches in the league.
Nantes
WLWLLL 📉
After being beaten in their last game against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 action, Nantes and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that game, Nantes had 64% possession and 11 shots at goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Nantes was Eray Cömert (35'). Strasbourg got 11 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Kévin Gameiro (3') and Emanuel Emegha (62', 78') scored for Strasbourg.
The stats don’t lie, and Nantes have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 10 goals in total. In defence, Nantes just haven’t been too solid at all.
Coming into this fixture, Nantes have not registered a win against Nice when they have played them away from home in the previous 6 league matches. They really have not been travelling well at all.
👥 Head to head
Looking at the statistics for their head to head meetings dating back to 12/09/2021, there has been little to separate the clubs with Nice winning 2 of those games, Nantes 2 and 2 being draws after 90 minutes of play.
13 goals were scored between them in these games, with 7 for Les Aiglons and 6 being from Les Canaris. That is an average goals per game value of 2.17.
The last league clash featuring these clubs was Ligue 1 match day 14 on 02/12/2023 when the final score was Nantes 1-0 Nice.
In that match, Nantes had 38% possession and 13 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer was Florent Mollet (25').

The match was refereed by Ruddy Buquet.
ℹ️ Team News: Nice
There’s just the sole fitness concern for the Nice boss Francesco Farioli to be concerned with from a near full-strength group. Alexis Beka Beka (depression) won’t play.
📰 Team News: Nantes
Nantes boss Jocelyn Gourvennec has not got a full squad to pick from. Bastien Meupiyou (Meniscus damage), Moses Simon (Broken fibula) and Ignatius Ganago (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be making appearances.
⚡ Prediction
We envisage that Nantes have it in them to find the back of the net against this Nice outfit, however that probably won’t be enough to prevent defeat.
We’re predicting a 2-1 advantage for Nice after the 90. Should be a good one.
