Nice vs St Etienne
Ligue 1
6:00 pm UK
Wednesday 11th May 2022.
Allianz Riviera
Predictions
The hosts are undefeated in their last five league fixtures, dropping points just once. Their opponents meanwhile have not won at home in their last five games, managing just a couple of points. Hence, I’ve picked Nice to register the win.
Three of the last five Ligue 1 fixtures at the Allianz have ended 1-0 in favour of the hosts. It is not a bad idea to back the result.

Nice vs St Etienne: Pre match conference
OGC Nice coach Christophe Galtier: “Will I be Nice coach next season? Before answering this question, which we have the right to ask, I remind you that we are not at the time of the balance sheet. We are far from it, even.
“There was a very big disappointment at the Stade de France, up to the expectations of the city, of the club. But we have 60 points, we were able to win eighteen games in the league, go to the final, and we had four days to recover before our late game, which could put us back in 5th position in an exciting final.”
ASSE coach, Pascal Dupraz: “I have seen that I don’t complain about the refereeing, I took it badly. But I’m not complaining because once again it’s the best version of me that I want to give. I don’t want to betray any fear. I leave it up to them, I didn’t ask for us to do the mail and give us three or four penalties a game. It’s not like that’s going to happen.
“For us anyway. It’s part of the game, I’m not going to give lessons, it’s called maturity. It wasn’t that long ago that I was completely immature. I don’t say anything bad about anyone, I was extremely immature about the referees. And it’s not that at the dawn of my 60th birthday I found a little bit of maturity concerning my hindsight on these dominating actors of a Ligue 1 football match.”
