Given the form of the two sides, it’s difficult to look beyond Nice for the win here. Les Aiglons have been good at home recently and have picked up 13 points from their last six Ligue 1 home matches here at the Allianz Riviera. In contrast, Les Verts have picked up only five points from their last six Ligue 1 matches on the road. Therefore, 101 Great Goals’ prediction for this match is OGC Nice 2-1 AS Saint-Etienne and is available at odds of 8/1.
Alternatively, you can bet on any Nice win at 1.6/1 against Les Verts at home on Wednesday.
Or, back any away win for Saint-Etienne at 5.5/1 here at the Allianz Riviera.
You can find odds of 4.2/1 for any draw between Nice and Saint-Etienne on Wednesday.

Match Preview
The Eaglets welcome AS Saint-Etienne to the Allianz Riviera on Wednesday for this Ligue 1 match. Nice are one of four teams battling over the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League place next season and still have an outside chance of reaching the UEFA Champions League Qualifiers should Monaco stumble in their two remaining games. With Metz gaining four points on them in the last two games, Saint-Etienne are looking over their shoulder again at the automatic relegation places. A win here would move them level on points with Lorient and safety.
Le Gym won their last league match away to FC Girondins Bordeaux. Expected goals of 2.5 to 0.2 in favour of Nice indicates it was likely a fair result. If anything, it suggests they made life much harder on themselves than it needed to be.
The concern will be needing five big chances to score just one goal. Thankfully Andy Delort finally found the net fifteen minutes from time to be the goalscoring hero for Nice. Delort now has 11 league goals this season for Nice and is the favourite at 5/1 to get the game’s first goal again here. The final score of the match was 0-1.
Their opponent on Wednesday, AS Saint-Etienne, come into the match on a run of five away league games without a win. They have picked up four points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.
The Greens lost their last league match away to Stade Rennais FC. Expected goals of 1.3 to 0.6 in favour of Rennes indicates perhaps it was a fair result. Arnaud Nordin will look back at his big chance just after halftime as the moment to equalise the game for the Greens and maybe get something from it. Sadly, he put the ball too close to the Rennes’ keeper. The final score of the match was 2-0.

OGC Nice team news
Youcef Atal (shoulder injury) and Alexis Claude-Maurice (ankle surgery) will be unavailable for The Eaglets due to injury on Wednesday.
OGC Nice are likely to stick with a winning team after beating FC Girondins Bordeaux in their last league match. Although, the goal finally came after the introduction of Amine Gouiri and Billal Brahimi around the hour mark. They may get the chance to start here.
AS Saint-Etienne team news
Injuries will rule out Ryad Boudebouz (groin injury), Aimen Moueffek (muscle injury), Enzo Crivelli (groin injury), Romain Hamouma (calf injury), Wahbi Khazri (dead leg), and Falaye Sacko (cruciate ligament) for the trip to the Allianz Riviera.
AS Saint-Etienne may look to shuffle their deck voluntarily having lost against Stade Rennais FC in their last league match. Bakary Sako looked dangerous in his cameo and moved into some dangerous scoring positions. He may be the one rewarded with a start here.
