For the third time this season, Nantes and Nice are set to face off; this time they renew their Ligue 1 rivalry. Hosts Nantes are placed 16th and sure to finish this matchweek in the red zone, while Nice are just above them in 15th place. Let’s have a look at the match prediction here.
Neither of these sides has had a great season so far. For Nantes, a fourth league win of the campaign will be the top agenda here. They have 14 points, which is four less than Nice’s tally.
Les Canaris will be looking to avoid a third defeat to Nice this season. They’re coming off a 2-1 defeat against Paris FC, their 10th Ligue 1 loss of the campaign.
Nice have been poor all season, but their recent matches have come with some injection of positive results. They eliminated Nantes from the French Cup on post-match penalties and are coming off their first win in the Europa League.
Les Aiglons posted a 3-1 home win against Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday. Back to domestic action, they’ll be looking to improve on their 5-1 loss to Toulouse last time out in Ligue 1.
Across their last eight Ligue 1 matches, Nice are winless, having only posted one draw, the rest being defeats.

Our Nantes vs Nice Prediction
There is a growing tendency for first-half goals in these two teams’ recent matches. An additional stat to that is that these goals rarely go beyond two. Across each team’s last five outings, only one of Nantes’ five matches had over 2.5 goals in the opening half.
That was the French Cup game against Concarneau, which ended in an eight-goal thriller. Exactly one goal was scored in Nantes’ remaining four games, while Nice’s last five had two or fewer first-half goals. Our prediction for Nantes v Nice, therefore, is for more than 0.5 first half goals.
