Latest football match prediction: Nice vs Nantes

Nice have had a very inconsistent start to the season, with contrasting performances at home and away.

On away ground, they haven't earned a single point since the start of the season, but at Allianz Riviera, the team has won 4 out of their last 5 Ligue 1 matches, including last season.

Nice's defense is quite solid at home, having conceded a maximum of only one goal in each of their last five Ligue 1 matches, while scoring a total of 13 goals in that run.

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

Nice have a habit of making good use of their lead: in all five of their most recent matches where they opened the scoring in Ligue 1, they went on to win. Conversely, this season they have yet to earn a single point when conceding the first goal.

As for Nantes, after two missed opportunities, they finally secured a victory by beating Auxerre at home at the end of August.

This is Luis Castro's first victory as head coach, and if they win again this weekend, he will have led Nantes to two consecutive wins in Ligue 1 for the first time in over a year.

That victory also ended Nantes' three-match winless streak in Ligue 1, during which they had scored a maximum of only one goal per game.

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

Nantes shares a similar habit with Nice: winning five consecutive Ligue 1 matches after scoring the opening goal, but this season they lost both games after conceding first.

Notably, Nantes are unbeaten in their last 7 encounters with Nice across all competitions, winning 3 of their last 4 away matches against them, all by a single goal margin.
