Nice failed to win the Coupe de France final, so the only way for the Eagles to qualify for European competition is to finish the season in the top 5 of Ligue 1. The club is currently in sixth place, catching up with Strasbourg on points, but Nice has a game in hand.
Saint-Etienne is now weak and in a deplorable situation with injured players (six ones are in the infirmary). The club is in 18th place, which brings the team to the playoffs for survival.
Both teams crucially need points now, but we believe more in the success of Nice since they are clearly stronger than the guests in terms of squad and form.
Our prediction: Nice to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.58
