Nice is currently positioned in the middle of the standings, so relegation does not concern the team. Indeed, it will now try to reach the UEFA Europa League or the UEFA Conference League.

Lille Preview
Lille is eight points behind Marseille, who currently holds France’s last UEFA Champions League berth, so the team needs to get the three points in this Nice vs Lille match to stay in contention for it.

JefeBet Prediction
Nice has been an inconsistent playing at home. Indeed, the team has a record of three wins, three draws and three defeats when playing in that condition. It has scored 12 goals for and 10 goals against.
On the other hand, Lille has been a good playing away, with a record of four wins, two draws and three defeats, with 14 goals scored and eight against. Taking into account the situation both teams are in, at JefeBet we are inclined to believe that the team led by Paulo Fonseca will win by the least amount of goals.
Prediction: Moneyline of Lille (Nice 0-1 Lille).
