Lille Nice betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 6^th position of the league, with 26 points won, after 8 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Nantes, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Bordeaux, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Nice has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 24 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 15 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 20 goals between minutes (0'‑15').

Nice comes motivated for this match after a 1-0 win at home against Bordeaux: Balotelli, in the 36th minute, scored the only goal of the match. The visiting team usually works in a 4-3-3, favoring a faster playing style, with the three forward players being Saint-Maximin, Balotelli and Plea. One of the main weaknesses of the visiting team is the way they approach aerial play, and they usually show great weaknesses in this aspect. The visiting team’s coach shouldn’t be able to count on Le Bihan for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Walter Benítez, Arnaud Souquet, Maxime Le Marchand, Marlon, Dante, Nampalys Mendy, Pierre Lees Melou, Jean-Michaël Seri, Bassem Srarfi, Allan Saint-Maximin, Alassane Pléa.
Coach: D. Digard.
