Nice vs Toulouse Prediction and Betting Tips | August 16th 2025

Nice will invite Toulouse to Allianz Riviera in their Ligue 1 campaign opener on Saturday. The visitors had another mid-table finish last season, while Le Gym secured a fourth-place finish.

The hosts were in action in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round earlier this month and suffered 2-0 defeats in the home and away legs to Benfica. They will look to open their goalscoring account for the season here.

Le Téfécé had endured a winless run in the preseason and will look to bounce back in this match. Notably, they had concluded their 2024-25 league campaign on a four-game unbeaten streak.

Nice vs Toulouse Prediction

The Eagles failed to score in their first two competitive games of the season in the Champions League and will look to improve upon that record. They are unbeaten in their last five home games in this fixture. Eleven of their 17 wins in the Ligue 1 last season were registered at home.

They have a lengthy absentee list as Mohamed Abdelmonem, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, Ali Abdi, Moïse Bombito, Tanguy Ndombele, Dante, and Morgan Sanson are sidelined with injuries.

Les Violets were unbeaten in their last four league games and will look to build on that form. Notably, three of their last four wins in Ligue 1 have been registered on their travels.

Cristian Casseres is a confirmed absentee due to a suspension, while Rafik Messali, Ylies Aradj, Abu Francis, Niklas Schmidt, Noah Lahmadi, and Ilyas Azizi will also not travel to Côte d'Azur for this match. Djibril Sidibé has been named as the captain for this season.

Both teams had some notable absentees, which will likely impact their performance here. Nonetheless, considering the Eagles' home record in this fixture, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
