by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions
Nice will continue with their quest for a Champions league place in Ligue 1 when they travel to Saint-Etienne on Saturday. Les Aiglons, sitting third, have been in great form ahead of this match against 16th placed Les Verts. Below we have a prediction for this match.
Hosts Saint-Etienne suffered a heavy loss in their first meeting against Nice this season. In that trip to Allianz Riviera, they lost 8-0.
That outcome has a lot to do with Saint-Etienne having conceded the second-most goals this season. Coming into this game, they conceded in stoppage time to draw 3-3 with Angers and are winless in seven matches.
In three of their last four matches, they conceded at least three goals.
With their poor Europa League campaign over, Nice are fully focused on Ligue 1. They've been among the most in-form sides lately, and come here on three straight wins in the league.
The latest of them was a 2-0 victory against Montpellier.
Nice managed two clean sheets in those three wins and scored two or more in each of them. Here they will be going for a fifth win in six league matches, while Nice only lost once in their last 10 league matches.
Their away run in the league is a bit patchy but Nice will still be confident, having lost only once in five.

Our Saint Etienne vs Nice Prediction
Saint-Etienne have the second poorest defence in Ligue 1 this season and Nice have a big say on that. Nice beat Saint-Etienne 8-0 in the teams’ reverse league meeting, and still come into this as favorites.
The visitors upped their charge for a top three finish with their third straight league win and will view this as a winnable game. Saint-Etienne, on the other hand, lost three times in their last four matches and come here as underdogs. Our prediction for Saint-Etienne v Nice is that Nice wins the match.
