France Ligue 1 -- Match Time：3/3/2018 02:00 Saturday (GMT+8)

Nice: Unstable form in the last month (Recent form: L L D L D)

Nice are 9th in the table with 36 points or no chances for top 4 and place in European competitions in the next season. They finished 0-0 vs Bordeaux in the last round of Ligue 1. In Europa League the team was eliminated after two defeats against Lokomotiv Moscow with 0-1 and 2-3. Not a good performance in the last month as currently their run without a win in from 7 consecutive games. In this period showed lots of problems in attack as didn't score in 3 of these games, while in defense are no stable as well. At home are without a win in 3 matches in a row after 0-1 vs Toulouse, 2-3 vs Lokomotiv Moscow and 1-1 vs Nantes. Their scorer Balotelli is injured and will miss here, while Jallet and Le Marchand are doubts.

Lille: Awful performance in this season and place in relegation zone (Recent form: W L D D L)

Lille are 19th in the table with 27 points or only 1 behind safe positions. The team is pretty bad in this season with only 7 wins in 27 rounds, also lots of problems in attack and with one of worst defenses in Ligue 1. In the last round lost against Angers with 1-2 at home.  This was 4th consecutive match without a win in league, also huge problems in defense in this period with 2 or more conceded goals in each of these 4 matches. Away at home are with 3 consecutive games without a win and one of worst away sides with 3-2-8 balance in Ligue 1 and only 10 scored goals.

THE BETTING VERDICT:

After all, Lille are in awful form in this season and with a place in relegation zone. Their performance away at home is pretty bad after 8 loses in 13 trips, also only 10 scored goals, while Nice's problems in the last month are huge after 7 games without a win, also their best scorer in this season is out for today due to injury, so here an under game is expected.

Nice vs Lille

O/U Pick: Under 2.25 goals
