Match prediction for Nantes vs Nice

The teams Nantes and Nice will play at the Stade de la Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau in a match for the 19th round of Ligue 1. Nice last won at home (1-0) the last time these two teams faced each other in this league edition on September 13, 2025. The head-to-head record at this stadium favors the visiting team, as they have won 2, drawn 3, and lost 1 of the last 6 matches here. However, in their last encounter at this stadium, in a Coupe de France match on January 11, 2026, Nice only managed to win (3-5) on penalties. Goals in that match were scored by Herba Guirassy (52′) for Nantes and by Sofiane Diop (25′) for Nice. Special attention should be paid to home/away conditions, as both teams show significantly different results in their home and away games.

After 3 wins, 5 draws, and 10 losses, the home team sits in 16th position with 14 points. In their last match, they lost to Paris at home (1-2), following a victory away against Olympique Marseille (0-2) in the previous game. Interestingly, this team tends to perform better away than at home, recording 4 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses in their last 30 away matches, scoring 19 goals and conceding 24, compared to 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses at home, scoring 16 goals and conceding 21. In the last 9 home league games, Nantes has recorded 1 win, 2 draws, and 6 losses, gaining only 5 points out of a possible 27.

In this competition, they have not won any of their last 7 home games. The team has conceded goals to their opponents in 9 of the last 10 matches, showing a lack of defensive solidity, but their attack has scored regularly, finding the net in 8 of their last 10 games in this competition. Across 18 games, they have never managed to turn around the score in the 12 matches where they conceded the first goal. There is a notable pattern in their last 20 home games in all competitions: they scored 9 of their 21 goals between the minutes 76′-90′.

Nantes comes into this match after a 1-2 loss to Paris FC, marking their fourth defeat in the last five matches in Ligue 1, with the only goal coming from Matthis Abline. Coach Ahmed Kantari is expected to set the team up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Youssef El Arabi, Matthis Abline, and Bahereba Guirassy composing the forward line. The focus in midfield will be on Rémy Cabella, who is responsible for dictating the game pace and organizing the team’s offensive efforts.
