Looking at these teams’ last five head-to-head games, Nice andToulouse have scored against one another in three of these games. Since both will kick off in their opening match of the season, I expect both teams to display scoring abilities against one another, while I expect more than two goals to be recorded. However, even though I expect both teams to perform in this match, I don’t see a clear winner since both teams will aim to avoid losing in their opening match, so I predict both teams settling for a possible draw.
