Toulouse vs Nice Prediction & Tips
Toulouse and Nice face each other at the Stadium de Toulouse (Toulouse), in a Ligue 1 1st round match. The history of direct confrontations played at this stadium favors the home team, who in the last 4 matches won 2, drew 1 and lost 1. In fact, in the last confrontation at this stadium, for the Coupe de France, on 06-01-2019, Toulouse won by (4-1). In this match the home factor could play a decisive role, as Nice have shown differences in performance in their home and away games.
The home team debuts in this edition after having finished last season in 1st place and gained access. This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, it presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 matches it registers 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses as a visitor, with 26 goals scored and 21 conceded, against 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at home, with 42 goals scored and 8 conceded. The team comes into this meeting after an away win with Montpellier by (4-5). Toulouse have won 10 of their last 10 games played at home for all competitions. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point as they have conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 games, but their attack has been scoring with regularity as they have scored goals in 8 of their last 10 games.
Toulouse comes into this match on the back of a 4-5 win against Montpellier, counting for the preseason. In this match against Nice, the captain Philippe Montanier should act with a bold strategy, looking for the counter-attack in order to exploit the back of the enemy’s defense. Individually we highlight the wing Zakaria Aboukhlal, a very fast and competent player in transporting the ball to the attack. All players are available for this game.
The visiting team debuts in this edition of the competition after having finished last season in 5th place. This is a stronger team when playing in their stadium, as in the last 30 games they record 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in their stadium. The team comes into this match after a victory at home with Torino by (1-0). In the last 10 away matches played in all competitions, Nice won 2, drew 3 and lost 5. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 matches, so there are defensive processes that need to be improved.
Nice comes to this game with a triumph, 1-0, against Torino, counting for the pre-season: the only goal of the match was scored by Calvin Stengs. Coach Lucien Favre usually lines up his players in a 4-4-2 formation, privileging the organization of his block and the fast transitions through the corridors. When he invests in the offensive sector, naturally, he does it through the left corridor, taking advantage of the depth offered by Calvin Stengs. For this round the visiting coach can count on all his players.
