Nice vs Nantes Prediction & Tips
Nice has had a rather difficult start to the season: in the Champions League qualifying round, the ‘eagles’ lost to Benfica without scoring, with an aggregate score of 4-0, meaning they will now compete in the Europa League. In the French league, the start has not been easy either: a home defeat to Toulouse (0-1), an away defeat to newly promoted Le Havre (1-3), and a victory on the second matchday over Auxerre (2-1).
Nantes, who finished in the bottom half of the table in Ligue 1 2024/25, missed out on European competition and had a quiet pre-season, making a few targeted signings in the transfer market. Like Nice, the Canaries have had a poor start to the 25/26 season: only one win in three games, against Auxerre (1-0), and two defeats against Strasbourg and PSG by the same score.
