The bet of our experts
These teams drew 1-1 when they met earlier this season, which was strange as although neither team is dominant, the meetings rarely ended as draws. As Nice played at home and only managed a draw, we reckon they will be unable to deal with the pressure Saint Etienne will put them under when they host Nice. Saint Etienne to win.
