Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Nice and Le Mans will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Olivier Pantaloni or Patrick Videira has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s lately either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.30 equating to approximately a 75% probability.
