by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions
After an underwhelming four matches in Ligue 1, Nice will be eyeing a change when they host newly promoted Saint-Etienne. The two sides are a point apart ahead of their clash this Friday. Let’s look at the prediction for the match.
It has been a slow start to life under Franck Haise at Nice. With just a win in four matches, they are struggling to replicate the performance that saw them finish fifth. Nice even had the best defence in Ligue 1 last term.
This season they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet so far, conceding six times in the four matches played. Les Aiglons have already been beaten by a promoted team and will be hoping to avoid another loss.
Ahead of this game, they suffered their second loss of the season, 2-0 at the hands of Marseille.
Saint-Etienne’s first taste of top flight football since 2021/22 didn’t start well. Olivier Dall’Oglio’s men were treated to three straight defeats without scoring, in losses to Monaco, Brest and Le Havre.
However, they rose from the ashes with a surprise 1-0 win against Lille in their last game. Mathieu Cafaro’s early goal in that game settled it and they will want to build on, going into another tough match.
The downside to their ambition is that in the last two meetings with Nice, they lost. Saint-Etienne have just a win in their last four matches against Nice. In five away matches in competitive action, Saint-Etienne have no win.
They’ve played two on the road in Ligue 1, and conceded a total of five goals.

Our Nice vs Saint Etienne Prediction
Dating back to last season, Nice weren’t known to be a high-scoring side. It is a quality they’ve carried into the current campaign so far. They’ve scored more than a goal in just one of their four matches and here they meet another low-scoring team.
Saint-Etienne’s return to the top league hasn’t been smooth, producing just a goal in four matches. With such numbers we expect this fixture to return less than three goals. Our prediction for Nice v Saint -Etienne is for the game to have under 2.5 goals.
