Nice vs. Strasbourg is a grinder, plain and simple. The key matchup to watch is how Strasbourg's midfield duo, Ibrahima Sissoko and Habib Diarra, deal with Nice's pressing, especially from the likes of Khéphren Thuram. Strasbourg has been the surprise package with an 11-7-9 record, showing real grit, while Nice sits at a disappointing 7-6-14, struggling to find the net consistently. They’ve managed just 22 goals in 27 matches, one of the worst attacking outputs in Ligue 1. Strasbourg comes in having won three of their last five, including a solid 2-0 win over Lens, while Nice has lost four of their last five, only managing a draw against Clermont Foot. I've got Strasbourg taking this one, 1-0.
