Nice and Lille will be facing off in a Ligue 1 match of high significance at both ends of the standings. While hosts Nice look to dig themselves out of the drop zone, Lille are looking to go top. Nice have scored just once this season, and our prediction doesn’t back them to change much in that respect.
In their last home match, Nice looked like they were making a positive step in Ligue 1 finally, as they played out a 1-1 draw with Le Mans. However, they were brought back by Auxerre in a 1-0 away loss, which also saw them hit rock bottom in the standings.
They go into this home match without much hope, facing a Lille who’ve just returned to winning ways.
After their disappointing home loss to Real Betis in the Champions League, Lille saw off Troyes to ease their pain. Les Dogues, playing a second straight home game, beat the newly promoted side 2-0 to momentarily go top of the standings.
They will be up for the same again after being displaced by Monaco, who beat Lens in an earlier outing. Lille will be unfazed about this encounter, as they face the league’s weakest attack.
While Nice have scored just once in four outings, Lille come here on three clean sheets in four league games.

Our Nice vs Lille Prediction
Our prediction for Nice v Lille is for Lille to win to nil. Lille have a superb record away from home in Ligue 1. In their last five such matches, they kept clean sheets.
They have also posted straight wins in their last eight away matches in the league and facing a struggling Nice side looks like a match Les Dogues will easily walk past. Both teams have their motivations going into this encounter with three points at stake. Based on recent form, though, we feel Lille will prevail.
