Nice vs St Etienne Predictions

• St Etienne have lost three of their four games this season without scoring
• Nice have scored six goals in their four matches this term.
• Nice won both meetings with St Etienne last season.

Les Aiglons to take the points

St Etienne picked up their first points of the season against Lille last time out but they look set to return to losing ways when they visit the Allianz Riviera on Friday evening.

Les Verts’ sixth-minute winner against Lille was their first goal of the season and was a welcome confidence boost after they were hammered 4-0 at Brest before the international break.

Nice have struggled with a slow start to the season, too, but they have taken four points from their last three Ligue 1 matches and have a solid record against St Etienne in recent years.

They won both meetings with St Etienne last season, scoring seven goals and conceding just two. Les Aiglons have scored six goals in four games this season and, with St Etienne struggling going forward, a home win alongside a second 1-0 defeat away from home this season for St Etienne appeals.
