Nice host Toulouse at the Allianz Riviera in Ligue 1 on Sunday (May 21), looking to return to winning ways after their latest setback. The Eaglets were beaten 2-0 by Strasbourg last weekend, as a double from Habib Diallo condemned the side to their tenth top-flight loss of the campaign.
With 51 points from 35 games, Didier Digard's side are down in tenth in the standings and aiming to finish inside the top half for the eighth year running.
Toulouse, meanwhile, are slightly worse off than Nice, having accrued eight points fewer and sitting three places adrift of them. Since winning the Coupe de France last month, Les Violets have gone off the boil, going winless in three games.
In fact, having struck five times in the cup final against Nantes, Philippe Montanier's side have drawn a blank in their next three outings. The first ended in a 1-0 loss to Lens, followed by a pair of goalless draws with Ajaccio and Nantes.
Nice vs Toulouse Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Nice are looking for their 16th win against Toulouse in Ligue 1 this century.
- Les Violets would become one of three current top-flight teams against whom the Aiglons have the most wins over this period (16 also against Lille and Rennes).
- Toulouse have won only nine points against teams currently in the top half of the standings in Ligue 1 this season, with only Angers (8) and Ajaccio (4) having fewer.
- Nice have lost four of their last six Ligue 1 games, as many as in their previous 25.
- Toulouse's last four Ligue 1 games have resulted in just two goals. They have had two goalless draws in their last two league games, only having a longer run in the top flight once (3 in September-October 1990).
- Nice have lost only one of their last nine home games against a club promoted to Ligue 1, which was in February 2022 against Clermont Foot.
Nice vs Toulouse Prediction
Nice have lost three of their last five games, which suggests all's not right in the camp right now. Toulouse would want to take advantage of that but are on a rocky road themselves, so a low-scoring draw could ensue.
Prediction: Nice 1-1 Toulouse
