Nice vs Bordeaux Live Stats & Betting Odds
Nice Prediction – Can Nice record back-to-back wins?
Should 13th placed Nice grab all three points in this Friday night encounter against Bordeaux, the hosts could lift themselves as high as 4th place in Ligue 1 prior to the weekend’s action in the French top flight which is incentive indeed for the home side here.
A 2-0 home win against Reims last Sunday ended a miserable run of 5 matches without a win in the French top flight and lifted Nice away from the lower regions of Ligue 1 and the relegation zone as the hosts now sit in 13th place and hold a 4-point cushion ahead of third from bottom side, Toulouse.
Previous defeats to Monaco, Nantes, PSG and Strasbourg along with a draw with Lille had threatened to plunge Nice closer to the bottom three, but the win over Reims should give the hosts a welcome boost ahead of this clash.
That said, it would be risky to place your trust in the hosts as they possess an inconsistent looking home record of 3-1-2 9/9 overall, but 5 of Nice’s 6 home matches to date have seen both teams score and this is an angle worth considering here.
Bordeaux Prediction – Can Bordeaux lift up into 2nd spot?
6th placed Bordeaux also have plenty of incentive to grab all three points in this Friday night tussle in Nice too as the visitors could move up into 2nd place and 6 points behind the French top flight league leaders, PSG, if they take the spoils here.
However, they too have been suffering from inconsistent displays which have resulted in hit-and-miss outcomes in recent weeks, as Bordeaux have registered wins against Toulouse and Nantes but have also fallen to defeats against PSG, Saint-Etienne and Lille.
Bordeaux possess an away record that’s almost identical to that of Nice’s home stats, with a record of 3-1-2 10/9 but the aforementioned defeat at Lille ended a promising run of 4 matches without a loss on their travels which included wins at Dijon, Amiens and Toulouse.
Again, having already lost 2 away matches this season, it may be best to opt for the goals market here as 4 of Bordeaux’s 6 away matches have also seen both teams score and this appears to be the best play.
Key-Facts – Nice vs Bordeaux
- 5 of Nice’s 6 home matches to date have seen both teams score in Ligue 1
- 4 of Bordeaux’s 6 away matches have also seen both teams score
- Both teams could make significant leaps up the Ligue 1 table with a win
Betting Tips Verdict
With both teams having plenty of incentive to grab all three points in this encounter, we could see both teams hit the back of the net.
