Nice-Toulouse is a match of the thirteenth day of Ligue 1 and is played on Sunday at 1 p.m.: TV, probable formations, predictions
With a draw at the Montpellier ground, Farioli’s Nice lost the Ligue 1 lead before the break. But this changes little from the judgment that is being made of his team so far for this extraordinary start to the season. Not even the most optimistic fans expected this. Who dream, at least, of qualifying for the next Champions League: it would in any case be a truly historic achievement.
In Sunday’s first game of the French league, the Italian coach’s Rossoneri host a Toulouse in evident difficulty. Yes, obvious difficulty despite the fact that four points have come in the last two outings. The host lineup is definitely not sailing in good waters – above one point from the relegation zone – and they know very well that playing against Nice is a very difficult task at this moment. Also for an obvious reason that is perfectly described to us by what the numbers are. The hosts in twelve days have conceded only four goals. To say that they are few is reductive, evidently. A team that plays almost from memory and concedes nothing, or almost nothing. Scoring them is impossible, and it is precisely on these principles that Farioli is making his fortunes.
At home, moreover, Nice took only one this year on the first day against Lille, then the goal remained inviolate and there is a very good chance that the same could happen after Sunday. And so, since then whether you want it or not a goal almost always succeeds for the Rossoneri, it is normal to say that a very important victory should come for the continuation of the season.
The prediction
Match quite addressed the one that will open the French Sunday. Farioli’s Nice is favored and should be able to bring home three really important points for the continuation of their season. A challenge of less than three goals overall.
