Nice - Nîmes betting tips and odds

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Nîmes are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Nice should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The odds are stacked heavily against Nîmes here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Nice are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.65.

Nice went into their previous Ligue 1 match as clear underdogs playing as visitors against Rennes . The draw during half-time was surprising enough – but no-one saw their narrow 1:2 victory coming.

Nîmes barely managed to avoid a loss in their previous home game. Their opponents, Nantes, were seen as hard favourites in that matchup and snatched an early lead. Luckily, Nîmes equalized, and the game ended 1:1.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

Nîmes are placed 18th in the standings with 1 point separating them from the relegation zone. Though the season’s end is approaching, they’ll need to stay on their game – the teams placed lower will be giving their all to stay in the Ligue 1.

The two teams already met this season in the Ligue 1, with Nice taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.85 at Betsson.
