NiceNantes

At the start of the season, both teams’ results suggest few goals. Nice did score three at home against Auxerre once, but on average they only score 1.5 goals and concede 1 per game at home. Nantes' lack of goals is even more prominent: just one goal in three rounds and they didn’t score in their only away match.

• The visitors' xG was 0.4 in their only away game, and Nice’s home xGA is around 1.05 - this indicates a low goal count.
• Nantes brings a three-game winless streak away from last season, with a goal/match average far below the league average.
• Nice has a series of three wins out of four home matches in the league since spring 2024, so avoiding defeat at home is a realistic goal.
• The seven recent head-to-head matches unbeaten Nantes sequence may caution the hosts, pointing toward another low-scoring scenario.
• Main risks: Nice's occasionally flaring attack (as seen against Auxerre), and an early goal could disrupt the plan for a tight match.
