OddsDigger’s Tip

The home side arrive into their domestic top-flight season after a tough period of preparation. They would have liked to have picked up some more positive, morale-boosting wins this summer, before heading into Ligue 1.

Match Preview

Ahead of our Saint-Etienne vs OGC Nice preview, the hosts will be confident that their resilience at home from last league campaign can carry into this one. Only Paris Saint-Germain managed to trounce them on their own patch in 2017.

That 5-0 loss to Les Parisiens would have stung at the end of a long season, but previous to that Stade Geoffroy-Guichard has been something of a fortress in French football.

Only Nice, Caen and PSG recorded victories on Saint-Etienne’s patch, a record that has heavily swung our Saint-Etienne vs OGC Nice predictions heading into the weekend. The visitors might have to put in a rather special performance to take away three points.

One loss in their last seven games on the road will give the away side belief, however. A pre-season defeat to a much-changed Sparta Prague has been the only time that they haven’t been able to make contests tight.

Nice ended their last league campaign with just one win in their final five games, which will be something that will need a lot of improvement to change so early in the new season.

Saint-Etienne vs OGC Nice Prediction and Betting Advice

After playing midweek in the qualification stages for the Champions League, there is a chance that Nice could be a little more match-ready than their opposition - but similarly, they could be more fatigued.

According to our Saint-Etienne vs OGC Nice picks, the hosts should be confident that they can get their domestic campaign underway in a positive fashion, taking advantage of their home support and fresher legs.
