Command Analysis
Nantes
FranceCurrent form
Nantes failed to take full advantage of the easy schedule of the first rounds. The Canaries played matches with five of the six teams at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings, but only scored nine points out of a possible 15. Now Antoine Kombouaré men face a difficult schedule until the end of 2024. There will be many meetings with teams that are in the top 10. If the team also plays with such giants, then its position in the rankings will clearly not be high.
Disqualifications and injuries
Duvern, Santons and Kadewere are injured, while Coco and Augusto are suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
Nantes have gone four games without a win.
The hosts have lost their last five games
Tentative line-up: Lafont - Amian, Castelletto, Zeze, Cozza - Gbamen, Chirivella - Thomas, Lepenan, Simon - Ablin.
Nice
FranceCurrent form
Nice have not shown successful results yet. At the beginning of the season, the team faced a lot of injuries. This did not allow them to demonstrate their best level of play. In addition, many key players were sold to other clubs, which complicated the situation even more. As a result, out of nine matches in all competitions, Nice won only two.
"Orlyata" play on two fronts: in the championship and European cups. At the moment the club has a series of four winless matches. Frankly speaking, this series can last for a decent amount of time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bard, Moffie, Laborde and Sanson are injured, while Dante will not appear on the field due to disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
Nice have conceded in nine of their last ten away games
Nice have scored in three of their four head-to-head matches at this stadium
Estimated line-up: Bulka - Ndayshimie, Bombito, Rosario - Clos, Boudaoui, Ndombele, Abdi - Sho, Gessand, Boga.

1.76Tip and bets
Both teams are well aware that their opponents are no better in terms of game ambitions. We believe that the teams will focus on defensive actions, and we will not see many goals scored in this confrontation. The statistics of head-to-head meetings also speak for this bet. In three of the five previous games, more than two goals were not scored.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.64

The results of the first rounds show that both teams have not reached their optimal form and are currently in approximately the same game form. Based on this, we conclude that the winner will not be revealed after the final whistle.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.10
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that the teams will focus on defending their goal. This means they will avoid corner kicks so as not to aggravate the situation in their penalty area.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.80
