Nice vs Saint Etienne Prediction & Picks - Ligue 1
by Tyler Doty | in Soccer Picks
Ligue 1 Matchday 5 kicks off! The match between OGC Nice and AS Saint-Étienne kicks off the action. The match takes place this Friday at 2:45 PM EST at the Allianz Riviera in Nice, France. Franck Haise's Aiglons are in need of a little reassurance, as they are only 12th in the table. They have won just one of their first 4 league games. In front of their fans, the Côte d'Azur club will be looking to make their status count. And they'll be hoping to boost their confidence ahead of their Europa League debut a few days later.
However, AS Saint-Étienne somewhat surprisingly just beat Lille 1-0. The Verts picked up their first win of the season. They are now 16th in the French league. The newly-promoted outfit are now looking to build on their success against a team with its sights set on Europe. It won't be easy, however. Nevertheless, they will be looking to pick up their first points away from home in this new edition of Ligue 1.

Nice - Saint Etienne: Form Analysis
It's not the start to the season OGC Nice were hoping for! It got off to a poor start in Ligue 1 with a 2-1 defeat at AJ Auxerre. The Aiglons picked up their first point the following day, against Toulouse FC (1-1). They then emerged victorious from their match against SCO Angers (1-4). Last weekend, the Côte d'Azur club fell to OM (2-0). Nevertheless, they put in a fine performance against one of the top teams at the start of the season. Franck Haise's team can hope to get back on track this Friday.
OGC Nice are in search of their first home win.
AS Saint-Étienne, back in the top flight of French soccer, has been slow to get going. The Saint-Etienne club lost their first 3 matches, against AS Monaco (1-0), Le Havre AC (0-2) and Stade Brestois (4-0). Les Verts failed to score a single goal. They had to wait until Matchday 4 to unlock their counter. Olivier Dall'Oglio's men came from behind to defeat LOSC (1-0). They were able to regain a little confidence before traveling to the Côte d'Azur.

Nice & Saint Etienne Squad Analysis
There are still a few absentees in the ranks of OGC Nice. Hicham Boudaoui, Gaëtan Laborde and Terem Moffi are still injured. Morgan Sanson is doubtful. Having always conceded at least 1 goal since the resumption of Ligue 1, Franck Haise will be expecting more from his defensive line. Marcin Bulka or Dante will help their team to a clean sheet. Jérémie Boga and Evann Guessand will have to keep a close eye on the stéphanoise defense. The latter has scored 2 goals so far this season.
Mathieu Cafaro scored Les Verts' first Ligue 1 goal of the season.
AS Saint-Étienne will be without Yvann Maçon and Thomas Monconduit. It was Mathieu Cafaro who scored the Verts' first goal of the season, in the last match against LOSC. He did so following an assist from Zuriko Davitashvili. Les Verts will certainly be keen to get a result from their trip to Nice. The defensive sector will have to be on top form. Gautier Larsonneur, so invaluable in goal, will need to shine again this Friday.
