Nice vs. Toulouse Betting Tips

Before the first official international break in 2019, the 29th round of the French Ligue Une is on the schedule this weekend. After the table was always distorted in recent months, there are now only two catch-up games that have to be completed before all teams have played the same number of games again. The battle for the Europa League will be particularly exciting in the season finale, with just under half of the league still allowed to dream of Europe. The 29th round of the 2018/19 season will open on Friday evening with the duel between Nice and Toulouse!

Football Betting Tips Nice vs. Toulouse

The hosts from Nice are currently ranked only ninth on the table, but are only behind by three points in fifth place. With a good season finish, the return to Europe is absolutely probable. Just in recent weeks, the Vieira Elf acted bearish in the domestic Allianz Riviera and celebrated four home wins in a row. The balance sheet of Toulouse FC, who lost the last four away games, is completely contrary. Despite these different form curves, odds in excess of 2.00 are offered for the home win in the game between Nice and Toulouse. The highest odds of winning the Nice are 2.20! The game starts on Friday evening at 19 o’clock!

Nice – Statistics & Current Form

The style of the OGC Nice under former World Champion Patrick Vieira differs significantly from that of its predecessor Lucien Favre. Football spectacle is not offered at the club of the Cote d’Azur this season. No other team has lost fewer goals than Nice. On average, only 1.71 goals per game were scored in 28 matches, which is by far the lowest in the entire Ligue Une. Vieira, as a player of one of the best six of his time, has put the main focus on the defensive. This is clearly at the expense of the offensive. In 28 league games, Argentinian goalkeeper Walter Benitez suffered on average just one goal per game. However, Allan Saint-Maximin & Co. could only achieve 20 goals. Only bottom of the league EA Guingamp (18 goals) has been able to celebrate even fewer goals this season. Despite the lack of force on the offensive Nice is in the top half of the Ligue Une. Nizza won the season with seven matches, 1-0, two 2-1 and two goals against Lille and Nimes Olympique. The Vieira team celebrated a two-goal difference (2-0). Nice has scored more than two goals in a single match this season. Based on these figures, it is not surprising that between Nice and Toulouse for the tip to the under 2.5 only odds of just over 1.50 are offered.

Especially at home, the table ninth presented in the last months with great strength and has since 21 October no home game lost. The Vieira team has remained unbeaten at home for eleven games (Nice missed a penalties draw on penalties in the League Cup), conceding eight goals without conceding. In the last eight home games in Ligue 1, the Vieira Elf collected 20 out of 24 possible counters. Thanks to this home strength, the Europa League qualification is within reach and odds of well over 2.00 are absolutely interesting in the home game against Toulouse. Personally Vieira can draw on Friday from the full and does not have to complain injured / locked players.

Expected formation of Nice:
Benitez – Sarr, Dante, Herelle, Jallet – Lees Melou, Cyprien, Tameze – Saint-Maximin, Makengo, Atal

Toulouse – Statistics & Current Form

The relegation was a gold medal for Toulouse, having finished only 18th place last season and celebrating relegation with two victories over AC Ajaccio through the play-offs. Thanks to the excellent youth work in the south of France, the Toulouse FC is definitely an asset to the Ligue Une. Despite the league remaining interim coach Mickael Debeve was not promoted to head coach, but for the new season Alain Casanova was re-appointed head coach. Already between 2008 and 2015, the 57-year-old worked at the “FCT” and reached in 290 games a points average of 1.34 points. Casanova can not show this value in the current season.

Nevertheless, the Toulouse FC season will come to an almost limitless end after the 38th game and the fear of relegation is not justified this season. With 31 points Toulouse is ranked 15th in Ligue 1 and already has a comfortable cushion of ten points to the relegation place. Ambitions are not really there anymore. The Casanova-Elf can already see the last games of the season as a kind of preparation for the new season.

In the last few weeks, Toulouse was by no means wanting. The 1-0 win against EA Guingamp last Sunday (gold goal scorer Yaya Sanogo) was the first competitive victory after seven games (three draws, four defeats). Even weaker is the away balance in recent weeks. After the 1-0 victory at Olympique Nimes Toulouse had to travel four times in series the journey home without counting. Home strength is in line with away weakness – between Nice and Toulouse, predicting the home win in light of these statistics is obvious.

Expected formation of Toulouse:
Goicoechea – Sylla, Jullien, Shoji, Amian – Sidibe, Sangare, Cahuzac – Jean, Gradel, Dossevi

Last matches of Toulouse:

⚽ 10.03.2019 – Toulouse Vs. EA Guingamp 1: 0 (Ligue 1)

⚽ 24.02.2019 – Toulouse Vs. SM Caen 1: 1 (Ligue 1)
⚽ 17.02.2019 – Girondins vs. Bordeaux. Toulouse 2: 1 (Ligue 1)
