Matchday four of the 2025-26 Ligue 1 campaign will see Nice and Nantes play on Saturday, with both teams looking to fuel their season. This match at Allianz Riviera between the 12th-placed Eagles and the 13th-placed Canaries comes with our prediction of a draw or an away win.
Both teams have near-identical records of three points from three rounds (W1, L2) with a goal difference of minus one. The only difference is that Nice scored four and conceded five, while Nantes scored one and conceded two goals.
Nice were beaten 3-1 away at Le Havre in their last match before the international break, extending the poor start to the campaign. Including their exit from the Champions League qualifiers, Nice have now lost four of their five competitive games this season.
The lone exception came in a 3-1 home win against Auxerre on matchday two, and they have four victories from the last five league fixtures here.
Nantes had a contrasting graph, as they started with consecutive 1-0 defeats to Paris Saint-Germain and Strasbourg. Things did look up when they went into the international break on the back of a 1-0 home win over Auxerre.
What could work in their favor is Nantes' impressive recent record against Nice. The visitors are unbeaten in their last seven head-to-head matches (W4, D3).

Our Nice vs Nantes Prediction
It hasn't been a tidy start for Nice, with four defeats out of five matches in all competitions. Although two of those have come in the Champions League qualifiers, it's obvious that the hosts are yet to hit their stride. A disappointing 3-1 loss at Le Havre was the low point before the international break, especially as Nantes boasted an impressive recent record against Nice.
Nantes also have the momentum of having won their recent league game, and that's why our Nice vs Nantes prediction is drawn or Nantes win.
