Nice and Le Mans have one point apiece ahead of their Ligue 1 faceoff, and both will be looking to bounce back from defeats. After two rounds, Nice are the only side in the league yet to score, which has left them second from bottom. We expect their low-scoring returns to extend here, and our prediction aligns with the same.
For the first time in 16 years, these sides meet in Ligue 1. Nice won both meetings in the league the last time these two sides faced off. More recently, though, in a cup game, Le Mans registered a 3-2 home victory.
Neither of the two comes here on a confident run, so picking a favourite will be tough. Nice being at home might have an edge, especially after having posted a pair of 1-0 wins in their latest league meetings.
Le Mans are placing hopes on Nice’s poor scoring run, with their hosts having failed to score a goal in their last two matches.
Le Mans themselves scored twice in each of their opening two matches but could not muster a win. That scoring run too is a strength they will want to carry into this encounter.
In their most recent outing the newly promoted side lost 3-2 to Rennes, having drawn 2-2 with Brest earlier. With only one away win in the last four competitive outings, we aren’t very confident that Le Mans can put an upset on Nice here.

Our Nice vs Le Mans FC Prediction
Le Mans and Nice are among the slowest starters in Ligue 1, having had winless outings in the first two rounds. They go head-to-head for the first time in this competition since 2010, a season when Nice claimed a league double over Le Mans.
Nice should be the stronger side here, but they are winless in 10 league matches. They are also yet to score in the league this season. Le Mans, on their part, failed to win in six of their last nine away matches in competitive action. We expect both sides’ struggles to extend into this encounter, and our prediction for Nice v Le Mans is for a draw and under 2.5 goals.
