Both teams have been unimpressive so far, and a goal-scoring spectacle in the upcoming match should not be expected. But there is a slight advantage on Nice's side. The team's slump should end soon. The thrashing of Saint-Étienne, as well as draws with PSG and Real Sociedad, clearly demonstrated the team's potential. We believe that the match could very well end with a score of 0:1 in favor of the visitors. But as the best bet, we recommend wagering on – Nice to win with a handicap (0), which carries less risk.
