Nice – St Etienne Predictions (8.02.2017)

Nice-St-Etienne

Nice

Meeting not to miss in the middle of the week between Nice and Saint-Etienne! Drying beaten in Monaco despite a more than correct performance (3-0) and especially in the first period, the Aiglons have had a special weekend, both reassured by their level of play and disappointed to have lost so wide Against their neighbors. Now third, tied with PSG and three Monaco units, Lucien Favre's protégés will have to find the path to victory against ASSE if they do not want to see their competitors definitively fly in the title race . Problem, and not least, the Greens are in shape and have just swelled their confidence by strangling Lyon during the derby of the Rhone (2-0). This will not be easy for the Nice people, and they will have to show themselves at least as good in the game as on their trip to the Principality if they want to win. With this time, efficiency in front of the goals.

St Etienne

Nice has 3 consecutive wins against Saint-Etienne ... ... but the Aiglons no longer chain successes, often sharing the points (3 draws in 5 days). Statistics almost similar for the Stéphanois, who have had two parity scores in the last 5 days. ASSE has won only 3 of its last 12 Ligue 1 games away from the Forez. One point could satisfy the Greens! Nice have had difficulties at home recently, as evidenced by the draw against Metz (0-0) and the (very) complicated victory against Guingamp. There is hope for the Greens!

Under 2.5 goals @ 1.65
