Nice vs St Etienne Predictions

• Nice are unbeaten in their last seven home matches
• St. Etienne have the third worst away record in Ligue 1
• Nice haven’t scored more than two goals in their last 13 matches

Huge game at both ends

Wednesday’s game has ramifications at both ends of the Ligue 1 table. If Nice have ambitions of breaking into the Champions League places, they simply must win on Wednesday. A win on Wednesday would take Christophe Galtier’s side within two points of Monaco, who occupy the third of the three Champions League spots on offer in the French topflight. Should the visitors win at the Allianz Riviera then they would move level on points with Lorient and remain inside the divisions bottom three only on goal difference.

Side with the hosts in a low scoring affair

Nice are unbeaten in their last seven home matches in both league and cup. Christophe Galtier’s side have taken 13 points from their last five home Ligue 1 matches, a run that has got them firmly back in the shake up for a Champions League spot come the end of the season.  Nice have struggled for goals all season and whilst they are fancied to win on Wednesday, it may well be a low scoring affair. Nice haven’t scored more than two goals in any of their last 13 matches in all competitions – The last time Les Aiglons scored more than two goals in a home league game was on October 24^th, 2021.

Very hard to trust St. Etienne on their travels

St. Etienne have rarely plied their trade below Ligue 1 in their 103-year history, should they drop into Ligue 2 it would be a crippling blow to their supporters and with uncertainty around the ownership, they might be set for an extended stay in French footballs second tier. St. Etienne are currently in the drop zone with just three games to go and their lowly position in the table is largely down to their abysmal away record this season. Pascal Dupraz’s side have taken just 13 points from their 17 away matches this season and they score less than once a game on average on their travels. Les Verts look to be in for a tough night in the south of France.

Nice to win and under 2.5 match goals is the main selection for Wednesday’s game Allianz Riviera. Nice are unbeaten in their last seven home matches but have failed to score more than two goals at home in the league since October. The correct score prediction for Wednesday’s game is for it to finish 2-0 to the hosts.
