Nice vs Nantes Prediction: Battle for Mid-table supremacy

Nice will attempt to keep Nantes at bay when they host Les Canaris at the Allianz Riviera on Sunday evening, as they are separated by one position and two points in the Ligue 1 table.

OGC Nice

Nice enters this match with an 11-game record of three victories, five defeats, and three draws. The team has lost five of their last nine games and scored 10 goals while giving up 14 goals overall. This has most likely been made possible by Andy Delort and Nicolas Pepe's efforts. Nice's most recent game ended in a 1-1 draw with Auxerre.

FC Nantes

With 10 points overall in 10 games, Nantes will continue to give it their all in this match. They have played 11 games this season, picking up two wins, five losses, and four draws while defeating Stade Brestois 29 4-1 on Sunday. When they have prevailed, it has typically been as a result of the talent Moses Simon and Mostafa Mohamed have displayed. The pair's ability to help Nantes defeat Nice will be closely watched by their supporters.

Nice possible starting lineup:

Schmeichel; Dante, Todibo, Viti; Lotomba, Thuram, Lemina, Bard; Pepe, Laborde, Brahimi

Nantes possible starting lineup:

Lafont; Appiah, Pallois, Girotto, Merlin; Chirivella, Moutoussamy; Blas, Ganago, Simon; Mohamed

Expert Betting Tips

The absence of Delort has reduced Nice's attacking potential, and they aren't exactly in a great place right now. However, Dante's return to the backline may be crucial to their defensive strategy. Although Nantes' efforts from the previous weekend are to be commended, all four of their goals came as a result of Brest mistakes, so they won't see much of a difference from Nice in that regard. We believe that a score draw is the most likely result because Kombouare's team continues to appear weak at the back.
