Nice vs Strasbourg prediction

THE FORECAST

Nice sit 15th with just 5 points and an anaemic attacking record of 0.6 goals per game, compounded by a heavy injury list including Moffi, Witsel, Abergel and Bombito, with a 17-year-old potentially needed in defence. Strasbourg have a significantly better goals-for average (2.0) and recent form that includes back-to-back wins, and while they also carry injuries, their squad depth from a busy summer transfer window looks superior. Both sides have had ample rest (~3 weeks), so fatigue is not a factor, but Nice's structural weaknesses and low scoring output make them vulnerable at home against a Strasbourg side that scores freely.
