[wptb id="393907" not found ]Nice’s Quest for Victory: Can Strasbourg’s Away Woes Offer Solace?
Key Stats
– Jean-Ricner Bellegarde has directly contributed to all four of Strasbourg’s goals this season.
– Nice remains unbeaten at home in five consecutive competitive matches.
Strasbourg, one of Ligue 1’s early pace-setters, heads south to tangle with Nice at the iconic Allianz Riviera. Notably, while Strasbourg enjoys a favourable early position, Nice’s commencement under Francesco Farioli has been lacklustre, resulting in a trio of draws and a brewing impatience amongst their fans.
Nice’s Rocky Start
Although unbeaten, Nice, currently stationed in 13th place, have not managed to claim a victory in their inaugural three fixtures. Encounters with the likes of Lyon, Lille, and Lorient ended with shared spoils. Given the stature of their opponents, some might argue they’ve had a tough start.

Nevertheless, the murmurs of discontent during the recent stalemate against Lyon were palpable. In this fixture, the expectation of Nice’s first victory this season is high, albeit history reminds us of Nice’s inability to secure a win against Strasbourg in their last five skirmishes.
Strasbourg’s Impressive Inception
Positioned comfortably in the European places after three games, Strasbourg have collected six crucial points. This noteworthy beginning marks the first time since the dawn of the millennium that Strasbourg has clinched victories in two of their first three matches in Ligue 1. The starlet in their recent commendable performances is Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. This 25-year-old midfield dynamo has had a hand in all of Strasbourg’s four goals, scoring half and creating the rest. However, their away performance paints a contrasting story. A 3-0 defeat to Monaco amplifies Strasbourg’s long-standing struggles on their travels, having only gathered 13 points from their previous 15 away games.
Team News
On the injury front, Nice will be without new acquisition Jeremie Boga and youngster Antoine Mendy. Alexis Claude-Maurice’s preparation has also been hampered due to injury. For Strasbourg, Emanuel Emegha, having netted in the win against Toulouse, is set to continue his attacking partnership with Habib Diarra.
Predictions
- Result Prediction (Win-Draw-Away): Drawing from the data, Nice’s home advantage and Strasbourg’s unconvincing away record, I predict a win for Nice. With Nice yet to taste defeat and Strasbourg’s vulnerabilities away from home, the scales tilt towards the hosts.
- Correct Score: Given Nice’s struggles upfront and their sound defensive record, a 1-0 victory for Nice seems probable.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Gaëtan Laborde, with the best BettingTips4You Expert Rating amongst Nice’s forwards and having netted once this season, is my pick to score at least once in this clash.
