Nice take on the visitors St Etienne in the round 36 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 11th at Allianz Riviera (Nice).
Nice have not had any convincing and striking victories for a long time. Performance dropped sharply. Even with outsiders, everything is difficult and with a difference of one goal. But that doesn't stop me from gaining points. The hosts continue to fight for getting into the European Cups, after the defeat in the final of the French Cup, the team has no other choice. The calendar is not very complicated, there are two home matches ahead, and even Marseille and PSG have beaten the Eagles at home. Despite some fatigue after the meeting with Nantes, Galtier's wards are natural the favorites in the match against Saint Etienne.

Saint Etienne is fighting for survival. The visiotrs can be relegated through transitional matches, or directly. From 17th Lorient, the distance is three points, but Metz is also closing the gap. Most likely, Pascal Dupra's team, which is hard to gain points, will remain on the 18th. The Greens conceded 23 goals in the last ten rounds, not a single clean sheet in seven matches. What to talk about if Saint Etienne receives devastating defeats and is not able to beat the closest competitors? In the match of the first round at home, the team was defeated by the Eagles with a score of 0-3.
It is possible that the odds for the hosts' victory are slightly underestimated. Home field, motivation in the fight for European competitions and so on. On the other hand, betting on a positive handicap for the Greens for the same coefficient of 1.5 goals is not entirely logical. Guests always miss a lot. Only Bordeaux have worse defense in the Ligue 1. We expect that Nice will achieve, if not a convincing victory, then a victory with a minimum score. Guests are unconvincing in matches against leaders and in meetings with their own kind. Six missed from Lorient, two from the same “Girondins”. “Eagles” just needs to realize their own moments. There are no complaints about the defense.
Prediction for the match: Nice to win.
