Nantes host Nice on Sunday (March 12) in Ligue 1 at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
Expect this one to be a relatively close game, with Nice coming out on top. They have won four of their last six meetings with Nantes, including their last two visits to the Stade de la Beaujoire. However, only four teams have scored fewer than their tally of 27 goals. This week also saw his side win the first leg of their UEFA Europa League tie with Sheriff Tiraspol. Nice, meanwhile, have climbed up to seventh in recent weeks after putting together a strong run of nine games unbeaten under caretaker boss Didier Digard. However, they have been on a slide recently, losing their last three league games.
