Latest Nice vs Nantes football review

Nice have had a mixed start to the season, with contrasting home and away form.

Away from home, they have not won any points since the start of the season, but at Allianz Riviera, this team has won 4/5 of the most recent Ligue 1 matches including last season.

Nice's defense is quite solid at home, when in the last 5 matches in Ligue 1 they have only conceded a maximum of 1 goal, and scored a total of 13 goals in that series of matches.

If they lose this weekend, Franck Haise's team will have lost more home games than they did last season (1 game), and will equal their longest losing streak in Ligue 1 last season. This will also be their worst start after 4 rounds of Ligue 1 since the 2022-23 season (only 2 points).

Nice have a habit of taking advantage when they are ahead: they have won all five of their last five Ligue 1 games. Conversely, they have yet to take a point when they have conceded first this season.

As for Nantes, after two missed opportunities, they finally got a win when they beat Auxerre at home in late August.

This was Luis Castro's first win as head coach, and if he continues this weekend he will have given Nantes back-to-back Ligue 1 wins for the first time in over a year.

That win also ended Nantes' three-game winless run in Ligue 1, during which they scored a maximum of just one goal per game.

After the first three rounds, La Maison Jaune is the team that has scored the fewest goals in Ligue 1 (1 goal), but is also the team that has conceded the fewest goals (2 goals).

Nantes have a similar habit to Nice: they have won five consecutive Ligue 1 games when scoring the opening goal, but this season they have lost both games when conceding first.

Notably, Nantes are unbeaten in their last 7 matches against Nice in all competitions, winning 3/4 of their last away matches against this opponent, all by a 1-goal margin.
