Nice vs Strasbourg prediction 11.10.2026 | Ligue 1

Nice return to action after securing a much-needed 2:1 victory against Lille at Allianz Riviera three weeks ago.

Nathan Ngoy’s own goal gave Les Aiglons the lead before Mohamed Amoura doubled their advantage. Ayase Ueda pulled one back for Lille, but Olivier Pantaloni’s side held on to collect all three points.

That result broke Nice’s four-game winless start to the season after draws against Lorient and Le Mans and defeats against Paris FC and Auxerre.

The hosts have collected five points from their opening five league fixtures and now sit 15th in the division, one point above the relegation playoff position.

While Nice have struggled for form in the first weeks of the campaign, they remain unbeaten in three home matches this season and in six Ligue 1 fixtures at Allianz Riviera since April.

A lack of defensive consistency has made Nice a solid choice in the goal markets. Les Aiglons have seen BTTS in their last two home Ligue 1 games, and in five of seven matches at Allianz Riviera since the end of last season. 

Head coach Pantaloni has some injury absentees this weekend. Antoine Mendy, Moise Bombito, Morgan Sanson and Laurent Abergel remain sidelined. 

Isak Jansson, Nathan Ngoumou and Hicham Boudaoui are expected to return to the squad after recovering from various injury issues.

Strasbourg make the trip south after suffering a 2:1 defeat against Paris FC in their most recent league fixture.

Ilan Kebbal and Pablo Pagis put the hosts in control before Moustapha Mbow’s late own goal gave Strasbourg brief hope of rescuing a point.

Hugo Oliveira’s side have collected seven points from five league matches, winning twice, drawing once and losing twice.

The visitors have proven an entertaining side to watch during the opening weeks of the campaign, scoring ten goals and conceding ten. Since a 4:0 defeat against Marseille in the opening weekend of the season, each of their last four Ligue 1 games finished with BTTS

On the road, 15 goals were scored in just three away games, including an emphatic 6:2 victory against Troyes.

Head coach Oliveira has a few injury issues this weekend. Martial Godo and Joaquin Panichelli are expected to remain unavailable, while Maxi Oyedele is considered doubtful.
