Nice vs Strasbourg Predictions

• Nice remain unbeaten at home in Ligue 1 this season
• Strasbourg have failed to pick up a single win in five away league games
• The hosts are four unbeaten, winning twice

Nice hoping to kick on

It has been an up and down season for Nice, who enter this round sitting in sixth place in Ligue 1, but hey did appear to be finding form before the international break.

The Eaglets had gone four unbeaten prior to club football’s hiatus, with victories against Monaco and Brest followed by a pair of 2-2 draws with Twente and Lille.

Both of those fixtures were at the Allianz Riviera, where Franck Haise’s side are unbeaten in seven outings this season, although five of them have ended all square.

Strasbourg’s struggles on the road

That is not good news for visitors Strasbourg, who make the long trip south having failed to pick up a single away league victory this season, losing three times in five attempts.

Two of those reversals have come in their last two trips, to PSG (4-2) and St Etienne, contributing to Liam Rosenior’s side conceding 14 times already on the road.

As such, they are 11th place ahead of this round, six points behind Nice, while they have picked up just two wins in their last nine matches at all venues.

I predict that Nice will win this game, with 2-1 o the hosts my correct score prediction.
