Preview

Match preview

Ligue 1 leaders Lille travel to the Allianz Riviera to face bottom-of-the-table Nice in a matchday five encounter. The visitors have made an impressive start to their league campaign, collecting ten points from four matches with three wins and a draw, including consecutive away victories without conceding a single goal.

Nice find themselves in the relegation zone after picking up only two points from their opening matches. Scoring has been a significant issue for the home side, who have netted just one goal in league play this season and have drawn both of their home fixtures.

With Nice dealing with several squad absences and Lille demonstrating disciplined defensive organisation on the road, the league leaders look well placed to maintain their unbeaten domestic start.

Double Chance

Lille or Draw

78%

Confidence

Lille sit at the top of Ligue 1 with ten points from four matches and have won both of their away games to nil against Toulouse and Angers. In contrast, Nice sit 18th in the standings and have managed only one goal across their league fixtures, while also missing key personnel including L. Abergel, M. Bombito, A. Mendy and M. Sanson. Backing Lille to secure at least a point covers both an outright away win and a low-scoring draw, which aligns with Nice drawing both of their home matches this term.
