Nice

DLWWDD

Nice will play in this fixture coming off the back of a 2-2 Ligue 1 drawn game versus Lille.

In that game, Nice had 43% possession and 17 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For Nice, the scorers were Sofiane Diop (56') and Tom Louchet (96'). For their opponents, Lille had 13 shots on goal with 6 on target. Matias Fernandez-Pardo (17') and Mitchel Bakker (66') scored for Lille.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Nice haven’t conceded. In fact, Nice have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 7 goals in the process. However, we must now wait to see if such a trend might be replicated in this upcoming match or not.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Nice:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Strasbourg in their last 2 matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 5 league matches at home.

Strasbourg

WDLWLL

After a losing effort in their last game against Monaco in Ligue 1 competition, Strasbourg will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Strasbourg managed 42% possession and 5 shots on goal with 2 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Strasbourg was Guéla Doué (29'). Monaco got 19 shots on goal with 8 on target. Eliesse Ben Seghir (79', 89') and George Ilenikhena (91') scored for Monaco.

The numbers tell their own story, and Strasbourg have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 12 goals overall. In defence, Strasbourg have been far from perfect.

Their previous form shows that Strasbourg:

• have not beaten Nice when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 9 league games. A poor run.

📋 Team News: Nice

Morgan Sanson (Injury to the ankle), Tanguy Ndombélé (Hip injury) and Terem Moffi (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Nice boss Franck Haise.

In all likelihood, Les Aiglons will probably go for a 3-4-2-1 system this time with Marcin Bulka, Tanguy Ndombele, Moise Bombito, Melvin Bard, Jonathan Clauss, Tom Louchet, Pablo Rosario, Y. Ndayishimiye, Evann Guessand, Jeremie Boga and Mohamed-Ali Cho.

📋 Team News: Strasbourg

Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior has not got a full squad to pick from. Moïse Sahi Dion (Knee injury), Jérémy Sebas (Back injury), Emanuel Emegha (Knee injury) and Alaa Bellaarouch (Pubalgia) can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that Le Racing could decide to begin the game with a 3-4-1-2 lineup, starting Djordje Petrovic, Guela Doue, Saidou Sow, Abakar Sylla, Dilane Bakwa, Diego Moreira, Ismael Doukoure, Andrey Santos, Sekou Mara, Milos Lukovic and Sebastian Nanasi.

🔮 Prediction

In this match, Strasbourg will likely create enough chances to get a goal against this Nice outfit, although it is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re expecting a narrow 2-1 advantage for Nice at the end of the match. Looking forward to this.
