Nice vs Roma Prediction and Expert Tips

Nice vs Roma Match Preview

Two of the sides that are capable of providing an exciting match-up is coming face-to-face this Wednesday at Allianz Riviera. Nice welcomes Roma in the initial round of Europa League and anything less than a thrilling encounter is anticipated.

However, Nice’s performance is concerning recently. They have begun the Ligue 1 season with three losses and two victories in five matches. Furthermore, two consecutive losses to Benfica in the finals of Champions League qualifiers provided them a place in the competition of the Europa League.

At the same time, Roma’s case is very different. They won an EL position last Serie A season itself and are now on a solid show of performances as well. They have lost only five games in the past 32 matches in all competitions. Italian coach Gian Piero Gasperini has been getting along nicely with the Roma team as well.

These two have clashed in a friendly match three years ago. The match ended as a 1-1 draw. But this time, a draw opportunity is very remote as Nice does not appear as equally strong to Roma. Despite the home assistance, we anticipate Nice to have an unfavorable test on Wednesday against this Roma team.

Nice vs Roma Prediction

French coach Franck Haise’s concern areas for this match are Nice’s home records as well. This is due to Nice’s failure at home, where they have lost two of their last four games. One of them was against Benfica in the final of UCL qualifiers. This comes into play in this match for sure.

Roma’s away form is great and they have taken all but one of the previous seven away games. The anomaly within that run is a 4-0 friendly loss to Premier League team Aston Villa. Their most recent away game was a 0-1 victory over Lazio in Serie A.

Something else which must be pointed out is that the Roma defense have been extremely tight in conceding goals. They are currently on a three-game run of clean sheet away wins and the previous 11 away wins included them getting a clean sheet as well. Nice’s previous two home losses fits perfectly with this away pattern of Roma since Nice were unable to score in both.

So, a win for Roma is expected this Wednesday. A 1-0 score is what we like to put forward and this is because 10 of the last 11 away wins of Roma ended with a 1-0 score. They are on a three-match streak of 1-0 wins on the road. It will be a tight match with goals unlikely to land over 2.5. this is backed well by the recent scores of both at respective patches.
