Nice vs Red Star Prediction & Betting tips
In fact, Olympique Nice and Red Star would meet in Paris at Stade Bauer, but due to security reasons, the competition was moved to the Allianz Riviera. Does Olympique Nice benefit from this unexpected home advantage?
Olympique Nice:
Olympique Nice started the season strongly and was in sixth place after six rounds of play, but now Patrick Vieira’s team can be found in eleventh position in the right row. With a 1-1 draw visiting Angers, against which les Aiglons only scored twice, the gap in the top four has now risen to four points, making it a tough task for les Aiglons to get a European ticket through the competition. A European ticket can also be obtained with a win from the Coupe de France, but a ticket for the Europa League group stage can also be obtained with a win from the Coupe de France.
In home games, Olympique Nice is performing well this season with twenty points from ten games, but in away games the team of Patrick Vieira is doing a lot less. In ten away games in the Ligue 1, only eight points were taken, of which two in the last eight away games. So it certainly seems to be an advantage for Olympique Nice that the game has been relocated to the Allianz Riviera, especially since the team seems to find the net much easier in-house. In each home game, les Aiglons scored and in the last four home games, no fewer than twelve were scored.
Red Star:
Last season Red Star achieved only thirty points in the Ligue 2 and with that, the team ended stiffly at the bottom of the rankings. This season, the Paris team is doing much better in the Championnat National, as Red Start is in second place with 35 points, just one point behind the leader, USL Dunkerque. Also in the battle for the Coupe de France, Red Star is not doing so badly at all this season with victories at amateur clubs in the first two rounds and a 2-1 win at Chambly in the 1 / 32nd-finals, the current number thirteen of the Ligue 2.
The most striking player at Red Star this season is Mehdi Chahiri. The 23-year-old midfielder came over from USL Dunkerque in the summer, where he barely had time to play, and is the top scorer of his team with ten goals this season. In addition to Chahiri, ten more Red Star players scored in the league this season, but none of them managed to find the net more than twice, which means that the danger to Chiqueri also seems to come from Olympique Nice.
