Expert Betting Tips
Total Corners - Over 8 @ 1.6 Odds on Bet365:-
Nice's recent matches are coming in with over 10.5 corners, while Toulouse is in the exact opposite trend, this market can be a bit unpredictable. Slightly over 8 corners would be a safe call nonetheless.
Combo Bet - Nice or Draw & Under 4.5 Goals @ 1.68 Odds on 1xbet:-
A double chance bet to Nice or a draw, coupled with under 4.5 total goals, is in line with the recent form of both teams and head-to-head statistics.
Total Cards - 4 Cards @ 4.50 Odds on Betway:-
Given Toulouse's penchant for high card counts and Nice's disciplinary nature, expecting close to 4 total cards is reasonable.
