Nice vs Strasbourg Predictions

• Nice are unbeaten in five competitive home games.
• Strasbourg lost nine of their 19 away games last season and have one defeat in one trip this year.
• Nice have managed just two goals in three games.

Nice seeking first win

Nice boss Francesco Farioli is still seeking his first victory since taking charge in the summer but he is yet to be beaten, with three draws from as many games so far.

Strasbourg have made a strong start with six points from three games, but they tend to struggle on their travels and Sunday’s game looks like a good opportunity for the hosts to get a first win of the campaign on the board.

Road form a concern for Le Racing

Strasbourg have picked up eye-catching home wins over Lyon and Toulouse this season but they were well beaten in their only away assignment, a 3-0 loss to Monaco at the Stade Louis II.

Le Racing were poor travellers last season as they lost nine of their 19 Ligue 1 away games and it looks as if those problems still exist, so Nice should be able to make home advantage count on Sunday.

Goals could be in short supply

Nice have created plenty of chances across their three games so far – they had 21 attempts against Lyon at the Allianz Riviera last time out – but goals have been hard to come by and they have scored just twice.

As such, a 1-0 win for Les Aiglons is the correct score prediction despite the fact Strasbourg have a quality attack. The visitors did fail to score or create anything of note at Monaco and Nice have look fairly solid defensively, conceding just twice so far, so a hard-fought 1-0 win appeals.
