Nice vs Troyes Prediction and Betting Tips | October 9, 2022

Nice will host Troyes on Sunday (October 9) in Ligue 1 at the Allianz Riviera. Surprisingly, Nice are in a lowly 13th place in the league standings, while Troyes are two spots above them but are only three points ahead.

Hopes were high for Nice when they appointed the highly rated Lucien Favre to replace the outgoing Christophe Galtier in the summer. However, they have only won two league games under the Swiss.

Most recently, they fell 2-1 to Paris St. Germain, but they picked up a 1-0 win over FC Slovacko in a UEFA Europa Conference League game this week.

After their win in the Czech Republic, the Gym move up a place in the standings and go to 2nd place in group D️

Troyes, meanwhile, have recovered well from losing their first three games of the season, losing only once since then. In their most recent game, they drew 2-2 with Rennes after beating Clermont 3-1 before the international break.

Nice vs Troyes Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Nice’s home form this season has been absolutely alarming, as they're winlesss at the Allianz Riviera, where they've collected a solitary point.

Troyes forward Mama Balde is in a rich vein of form, scoring five goals and registering two assists.

Nice vs Troyes Prediction

On paper, at least, Nice are far superior to their opponents this weekend, but with Andy Delort a doubt, it’s difficult to see where their goals will come from.

Troyes, meanwhile, have been in strong form recently and in Balde, have one of Ligue 1’s most in-form goalscorers. However, their record at the Allianz Riviera hardly inspires any confidence.
