Bordeaux vs Nice Prediction & Match Preview

• Nice failed to score in the last two matches across competitions.
• Bordeaux are 15th in the Ligue 2 standings with just 21 goals scored in 20 matches in the competition.
• Nice shipped only 11 goals in 18 Ligue 1 affairs this season. They still hold the second position in the league table despite a slide in form in recent weeks.

Bordeaux and Nice will be looking to forget about the recent hiccups in their respective leagues on Saturday afternoon when they come across each other in the last 32 round of Coupe de France. Bordeaux slipped to 15th position in the Ligue 2 standings after a 1-3 loss at Auxerre.

Les Girondins are going through rough times in the second division of French football. They are currently just three points above the danger zone. They scored only 21 goals in 20 Ligue 2 affairs this term.

Bordeaux did not impress in the previous round of French Cup either. Riera’s men needed penalties to eliminate half-amateur side Entente SSG two weeks ago. Their back line looked vulnerable on Monday night when Bordeaux allowed ten shots on target in the mentioned defeat at Auxerre.

Nice’s potential title charge in Ligue 1 suffered a serious blow last weekend as Les Aiglons fell 0-2 away at Rennes. It was the third straight league loss on travels for Francesco Farioli’s men who are now eight points below PSG at the top of the league table.

Nice are evidently struggling offensively these days. They failed to break the deadlock in the previous Coupe de France game either, advancing to this round only after a win on penalties over Auxerre at Allianz Riviera.

Recent Meetings

These two teams last met each other in the 2021/22 Ligue 1 season when Nice claimed two wins over Bordeaux. Les Aiglons have scored five and conceded zero goals in that double-header.

Nice, however, have a dreadful record at Stade Matmut-Atlantique where they won only 4 and lost 11 of the previous 25 meetings with Bordeaux.

We did not see goals at both ends in any of the previous four head-to-head encounters between these outfits.

Bordeaux vs Nice Prediction

Neither Bordeaux nor Nice can be proud of their attacking form going into this tie which is why we will go for the Under 2.5 goals FT pick as the main betting option at the 1.75 odds. Nice are the favorites to win but they failed to find the back of the net in the last two matches across competitions, including the goalless draw to Auxerre in the previous round of Coupe de France. This is why the Under is the way to go here.

That said, we still like the look of the 2.00 odds offered for the away win pick knowing about the difference in quality between the two teams. Bordeaux are only 15th in Ligue 2 while Nice sit 2nd in the Ligue 1 standings. They conceded only 11 goals in the league so far in the season.
