Team Overview
Nice are one of French football's traditional institutions, a club rooted in the Côte d'Azur and known as Les Aiglons. Their historic standing is considerable. They won four French league titles, in 1951, 1952, 1956 and 1959, and have spent most of their modern history in the top flight, where they have generally been a competitive side in the upper half of the table. That heritage gives the club a reputation as a proud, ambitious force outside the traditional heavyweights.

The current Ligue 1 campaign has been uneven. Through seven matches, Olivier Pantaloni's side have two wins, two draws and three defeats, with six goals scored and nine conceded for a goal difference of minus three. The attack has averaged fewer than one goal per match, and Nice have failed to score in three of their seven games. They have kept just one clean sheet, so defensive solidity has been hard to come by. Their recent form reads D-L-D-L-W-W-L, which shows a side that has had spells of progress but has struggled to build consistency.
The clearest feature of Nice's season so far is the gap between home and away results. At home they are unbeaten in

Recent Form
Form Analysis
Nice's last five matches point to an inconsistent run, with two wins, one draw and two defeats, and six goals scored and six conceded. The side has been involved in tight contests throughout. Every result was either a draw or a one-goal margin, so the numbers suggest a team competing closely rather than being outclassed or dominating.
The attack has been steady rather than prolific. Nice scored in four of the five matches and managed two goals in each of the home wins over Strasbourg and Lille. The exception was the 1-0 loss at Auxerre, where they failed to score. Defensively, Nice did not keep a clean sheet in the sample, conceding at least once in every game. They allowed two goals only once, in the 2-1 defeat at Lyon, and one goal in each of the other four matches.
The clearest pattern is the split between home and away form. At home, Nice are unbeaten with two wins and a 1-1 draw against Le Mans, scoring five and conceding four. Away from home they lost both trips, to Lyon and Auxer
