Toulouse vs Nice Prediction

Under the management of Carlos Martinez Novell, Toulouse come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat at home to Montpellier Herault in their most recent outing last weekend. The home team have collected just one point from their last three matches in Ligue 1 after they were in impressive form following a slow-ish start to the campaign. Nice finished up with just three points in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League with their 1-1 draw against Bodo/Glimt at the Allianz Riviera in midweek as Franck Haise’s southerners put full focus into finishing in the top four and earning UEFA Champions League qualification. In Ligue 1, they have won three of their last four matches thanks to a 2-0 defeat of Olympique de Marseille in the Derby de la Mediterranee last weekend. A double chance bet in favour of Nice looks the way to go for this one.

Toulouse vs Nice Tip: Double chance – Nice to win or draw
