Best Tip: Nice to win

Studying the bookmakers' odds and collated statistics regarding both sides ahead of this Ligue 1 game, a bet on win / draw / win for Nice to win in front of their own fans is what we would suggest. We predict they'll be too strong for Nantes, and head-to-head (H2H) records show they have the pedigree to do so. It may not all be plain sailing, but Nice to win is the bet come Friday evening.
