Nice take on the visitors Troyes in the round 34 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, April 24th at Allianz Riviera (Nice).
Nice are already in sixth position. After losing points with Monaco, Rennes, Lens and Marseille validity of clams for eurocups are in big question. The final of the French Cup is awaiting Nice, of course, but after all, there were claims for a place in the Champions League. It's hard to say yet, but nothing is lost yet. Firstly, the gap from the third position is only two points, and secondly, the hosts have a pretty good calendar compared to other rivals as Nice will face Lille as the only serious threat. At the Allianz Riviera, the Red-Blacks are stronger than ever in the second half of the season. All their need is to convert their own advantage in class in the match against one of the outsiders.

Troyes have disappointed. Nobody initially expected much from this team, but the defeat at home from Clermont greatly complicated the struggle for survival for the visitors. Backlog of Saint Etienne was reduced to three points. And even though recent failures are associated with the loss of points from strong opponents, it is unlikely that Nice can’t be ranked among those. The team of Irles is rightfully considered as a home team, on the road Troyes concedes an average of two goals, there were some victories, but there are so few of them and there is nothing to catch on. The main goalkeeper and central defender were injured, the forward is disqualified. While attack and defense weren’t among the strongest, these are already serious problems. Is there any point in acquiring this club by City Football Group?
There are no other options here. Whatever form and condition Nice are in, losing points against Troyes is likely to deprive the hosts of the fight for third place. The opponent is weakened and it has to be used. At the same time, the hosts have to rehabilitate for the defeat in the reverse fixture. Inconsistency at own stadium seems to be a thing of the past. Yes, the hosts have problems with goals scored, but the presence of higher-class players should affect the final score on the scoreboard.
Prediction for the match: Nice to win
