There’s a couple of fixtures in the French top flight on Friday night and we begin with a look ahead to the clash between Nice and Toulouse as the betting tips continue at the Allianz Riviera where the hosts will look to bounce back from defeat last time out.
Nice Prediction
Nice currently occupy 9th place in Ligue 1 but all three points in this Friday night’s encounter against Toulouse could see the hosts move up into 7th place and level on points with Reims and Saint-Etienne.
Nice have lost three of their last four matches overall in the French top flight with defeats to Angers, Amiens and Marseille, but it should be noted that all three of these losses were handed out to Nice away from home, so it’s not all doom and gloom as the hosts prepare for this encounter at their Allianz Riviera.
Indeed, far from it in fact as Nice have won their last four home matches on the trot with victories gained over Bordeaux, Nimes, Lyon and Strasbourg amidst an overall record of 7-2-4 11/11, so you can see that the hosts have made a significant improvement on home soil in recent weeks.
Indeed, the hosts are unbeaten in their last eight at home, but the goals have been in short supply, so don’t expect a goal bonanza here this evening!
- Nice have won their last 4 home matches on the trot
- Nice are unbeaten in their last eight matches at their Allianz Riviera
- Toulouse have lost their last 3 away matches on the trot in Ligue 1
Toulouse Prediction
Toulouse recently ended a worrying six-match sequence without a win in Ligue 1 last weekend when they recorded a much needed 1-0 win over bottom club, Guingamp at their Stadium de Toulouse following recent defeats to Monaco, Bordeaux and Lyon.
Obviously, the visitor’s win was at home, but the recent losses were all dished out to Toulouse on their travels, and with another away match at Nice on Friday night, Toulouse will be keen to avoid a fourth defeat on the trot on their travels.
The visitors possess an away record which stands at an ordinary looking 4-3-7 12/24, but they do have a useful 10-point cushion ahead of the third from bottom placed team, Dijon, who occupy the relegation play-off spot.
Nevertheless, Toulouse possess the fourth worst defensive record away from home in Ligue 1 and this underlined by just three clean sheets on the road to date and they’ve also conceded 2 goals or more in 6 of their 14 away matches to date.
Betting Tips Verdict
Nice will be keen to make home advantage count here especially considering their recent losses away from home, and they should account for Toulouse here quite comfortably.
