Toulouse vs Nice Prediction & Betting tips
The only meeting between two teams from the Ligue 1 in the 1 / 32th-finals of the Coupe de France will take place on Saturday-evening between Toulouse and Olympique Nice. In 2018 Toulouse was twice too strong for Olympique Nice and one match between the two teams ended undecided, a harbinger for Saturday night?
Toulouse:
After the first half of the season, Toulouse is in a neat 13th place with 21 points and a goal difference of -10 (17-27) with already five points ahead of the eighteenth place of last season. The good performances in December in particular contributed to the current position of Le Téfécé in the ranking; In the same way, Dijon managed to win the game, before Stade de Reims won the match, was lost to Caen and won just before Christmas in and against Lille.
Toulouse has had the least corners of all clubs in Ligue 1 this season. In total, the team was allowed to pitch 67 times for a corner (average 3.72 times per game) and exactly zero times led to a goal. Quite remarkable since only six of the seventeen goals of Toulouse (around 35%) resulted from open game situations. By comparison, Paris Saint-Germain scored no fewer than 29 times (converted 58%) from open game situations.
Olympique Nice:
At the start of the season 2018-2019, Olympique Nice and Patrick Vieira got a live football legend at the helm, but so far his performance as a trainer can not match his performance as players. With 26 points out of eighteen games and a goal difference of -4 (13-17), the team is in a tied seventh place with only four points behind the top four, but also three points ahead of the left row. Where the December month for Toulouse was still hopeful, that can not be said for Olympique Nice, which played three times in December and even lost the last two games.
On the defensive, Olympique performs nicely this season with only seventeen goals in eighteen games and even a series of six games in the Ligue 1 without goals. In offensive terms, it is a lot less with only thirteen hits (average 0.72 per game) in the competition. Mario Balotelli, also known as Supermario, last season was still decisive for Olympique Nice with eighteen hits in 28 games, but has not shown yet in ten games this season. Not for the first time in his flamboyant career, the Italian striker is out of the selection and it seems that we have already seen the best of the Italian at Olympique Nice.
